Why this formula appears here
Its unit is bits. A request that commits competent readers to one completion class has =0 bits. A request that leaves two equally plausible classes alive has one bit. This does not imply that either task takes one unit of labor. It says only how much uncertainty about the reasonable completion story remains after the initial request is read. The estimator should carry a resampling interval across annotators and adjudication choices; a point estimate without its classification fragility would make the most subjective part of the design look falsely exact.

The limiting cases are a useful sanity check. If a detailed request uniquely identifies a class, =0 , then =0 even if the repair has many transitions. That task can be long yet not intention-wide. If a terse request admits many reasonable classes but only one operational change, =1 , then the gap is broad but shallow. If there is no identifiable path to an externally checkable state, is undefined rather than enormous; the task is unsuitable for this study. And if redaction merely removes irrelevant prose, the annotation distribution should not change much. A metric that rises whenever words disappear has measured prompt length, not intention.
