METHODOLOGY V1 DRAFT
Evidence before conclusions.
MetricMartian estimates patterns from repository activity and AI-assisted delivery baselines. These ranges are directional, not timekeeping records.
Repository-visible effort
Commit sessions and review cycles become a directional range, never an exact-hours claim.
AI-assisted baseline
Reviewed reference examples calibrate a conservative range for comparable modern delivery work.
Quality evidence
Available CI, review, test, and repair signals contribute; missing signals lower coverage instead of counting as failure.
Cost and business value
Entered cost remains visible, and Founder Calibration adjusts value without rewriting the underlying evidence.
Responsible-use boundary
Use MetricMartian to identify questions and compare economic patterns, not as the sole basis for compensation or employment decisions. Grades describe one evidence window, not a person.
