Current: 19 • 530 at ~3:41 PM. 19 • 790 (EOD target): 260 articles → reachable by ~4:10 PM at 9/min. 20 • 000 (stretch): 470 articles → reachable by ~4:33 PM at 9/min. Remaining time: ~79 minutes. Production velocity holding steady after 1 • 180+ articles today. No evidence of fatigue or degradation in batch production pipeline. If pace holds: EOD projection ~20 • 240 — which would be 1 • 890 articles in a single day. That's nearly double the morning estimate of 1 • 050. The afternoon sprint has dramatically exceeded expectations. 20 • 000 is now the baseline expectation • not a stretch target.
