Notes to the accounts
Method.
Every figure on the front page is computed from the public GitHub API and nothing else. This page gives the rule for each one and the call that produces it, so you can re-run it and get the same answer. If you get a different answer, the front page is wrong and we would like to know.
Scope
Three public repositories, last 90 days, refreshed every 30 minutes:
- MadaBurns/bv-mcp — a DNS and email security scanner exposed as an MCP server (the bulk of the activity)
- MadaBurns/blackveil-dns-action
- MadaBurns/bv-claude-dns
- MadaBurns/macrohard — this site. It counts itself.
The same organisation also works in private repositories. Those are deliberately excluded: a number you cannot check is a claim, not a receipt.
Agent-authored commits
A commit counts as agent-authored when its message carries a Co-Authored-By: Claude … trailer, matched
case-insensitively at the start of a line. Nothing is inferred from the author name, the commit style, or the file touched. A commit
without the trailer is counted as human even if an agent helped.
Call: GET /repos/{owner}/{repo}/commits?since={now − 90d}&per_page=100, following Link: rel="next".
The commit date is commit.author.date.
Headcount, agent
The number of distinct identities named in those trailers across the window — for example
Claude Opus 5 (1M context) and Claude Fable 5.1 are two. It is a count of the models that signed work, not
of running processes; the real number of concurrent agents is larger and not something we can prove to you from public data, so we
do not put it on the page.
Headcount, human
One. The repositories have one human maintainer with commit access. That person holds the deploy keys and runs production deploys by
hand — the agents open the release; they do not press the button. We say so on the front page because the alternative would be a lie
that a sceptic could disprove in one git log.
Pull requests merged
Closed pull requests with a non-null merged_at inside the window.
Call: GET /repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls?state=closed&sort=updated&direction=desc&per_page=100, paginated
until a whole page predates the window.
Median PR open to merge
For each merged pull request above, merged_at − created_at in hours; the median of those. Not a mean, so one long-lived
branch does not move it.
Meetings held
Zero. This one is not from the API. It is, however, true.
Staff your company
The org charts are generated by a language model running on Cloudflare Workers AI from your description, validated against a fixed schema, and stripped of anything link-shaped before they are stored or shown. They are satire, not estimates. When the model is unavailable or the day's generation budget is spent, one of five standing proposals is served instead and the page says so.
Source
The site itself is open: MadaBurns/macrohard. The aggregation
lives in src/receipts.ts; its tests are the specification.
