Human Minutes per Transaction
Human Minutes per Transaction (HMPT) measures meaningful human intervention required to complete an economic transaction. It cannot be reported as zero when no qualifying transaction has occurred; in that case, the metric is undefined.
HMPT = meaningful human intervention minutes divided by completed economic transactions. It is a transaction-level operating metric, not a substitute for Human Build Time or Human Operating Time.
The three clocks answer different questions
Human Build Time (HBT) records the human effort used to design, configure, correct, deploy and maintain the system. Human Operating Time (HOT) records human effort inside a bounded operation after the system exists. HMPT asks how much meaningful human intervention remains when economic value is exchanged.
Why the denominator matters
If the system completes no economic transaction, HMPT has no valid denominator. Reporting zero would confuse the absence of transactions with autonomous execution. The honest state is “not yet measurable” until a qualifying transaction exists.
Minimum evidence for an autonomy claim
Report the operation, evidence date, HBT status, HOT and result status together. Low human effort can accompany a failed or commercially useless operation; effort and outcome must stay separate.
