The Harvester Multiplication Problem: Capability Fragmentation, Governance Collapse and the Compounding of Human Intelligence Debt
This document is a field notes paper : a structured conceptual contribution grounded in direct practitioner observation, prior to formal empirical validation. It extends the framework introduced in Human Intelligence Debt: A Socio-Technical Metric for Measuring the Human Cost of Imperfect Data Flows . Readers unfamiliar with the core definitions — Human Intelligence Contribution Ratio (HICR), Human Intelligence Contribution Target (HICT), and Human Intelligence Debt (HID) — are encouraged to read that paper first. The next stage of this series will be a working paper developing the measurement methodology and a preregistered empirical research protocol; empirical results will follow instrument validation.

analogy only
A multi-module suite and fragmented tools are different architectures; application count alone cannot establish capability fragmentation or coordination burden.

candidate transfer
Capability multiplicity is a screening signal; avoidable compensatory work must still be established from task episodes and a credible replacement counterfactual.
