FTE Hours Saved (Toil Reallocation Value) — Definition of Success

KPI: FTE Hours Saved Target: ≥ 70% of pre-Nova FTE allocation (derived)

What this number means: the engineering hours saved by automated operations, valued at the blended engineering rate. This is what those hours were spent on instead (the "toil reallocation" — capital freed up from ops to feature development).

How it's computed: run count × manual baseline minutes per run ÷ 60 × blended hourly rate. The manual baseline is the estimated time a human team would take for the same operation (e.g., 30 min/ticket).

Honesty caveat: computed on N internal runs today; the production- denominator activates post-pilot. The formula is grounded; the production numbers are not yet.
