What Clara has done for real customers this year, how fast it is growing, and the other things worth saying to investors. Recounted from scratch on Oct 2, 2026 and cross-checked against Twilio and ElevenLabs.
Jan 1 – Oct 2, 2026 · Central Time · real customers only (Camellia / JP&Co and Western Slope) · every test property, team phone and our own lines removed · Proposed — pending Fede's review

Clara has handled 945 conversations, 689 phone calls and booked 101 tours for two customers since April. Real activity starts in April 2026, so this is six months of work. The last 30 days are up 31–79% on the 30 before depending on the metric, with Western Slope's launch inside that window.
| Metric | JP&Co (Camellia, Yale 25) | Western Slope (first real activity Sep 18) | Total YTD | Detail |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tours booked | 81 | 20 | 101 | 85 confirmed, 15 cancelled, 1 other. 96 distinct prospects. |
| Conversations handled | 803 | 142 | 945 | 719 of them had a person write in and Clara reply (the rest are Clara-initiated: reminders, outreach). |
| People Clara talked to | 490 | 99 | 589 | Distinct prospects, residents and vendors. |
| Text messages | 970 | 237 | 1,207 | 305 in, 902 sent by Clara: 257 conversational replies, 566 automated reminders and outreach, 66 notices to client staff, 13 manual. |
| Emails | 840 | 162 | 1,002 | 350 in, 652 sent by Clara: 438 to leads and residents, 214 notices to client staff. |
| Phone calls | 583 | 106 | 689 | 293 inbound, 52 outbound, 344 older calls with no direction stored. |
ElevenLabs, counted independently by phone line with the same team and automated numbers removed, gives 688 answered calls, within one of the database's 689. Twilio gives 339 inbound / 1,088 outbound texts on a looser exclusion list; the text gap to the database is not fully reconciled.

Camellia is one building. Western Slope is about 90 buildings, many of them single-family homes spread across Grand Junction, run from one office. Clara now answers one phone line and one mailbox for all of them and works out which home a caller means. That is the "distributed portfolio" architecture: the management company is the wall around its data, every phone line, mailbox, calendar and setting hangs on either the company or one of its buildings, and one lookup resolves a caller to a company, then to the buildings in reach, then to the person. A whole portfolio onboards from one AppFolio pull.
The repo started on Feb 17, 2026, so everything below is about seven and a half months of work by a small team directing AI agents (two people opened 99.6% of the pull requests).

| Changes merged to main | 269 | 1,257 | 708 | 1,167 | 941 | 2,252 | 1,358 | 5,648 |

Feb and Mar were direct pushes before the pull-request workflow existed. Deploy records come from Vercel and are raw counts, not filtered for failed builds; from Sep 24 deploys are batched to one every 30 minutes, so deploys fall below merges. About 1.5% of merges were later reverted (220 of 14,565), a rough proxy for change-failure rate. GitHub's own search puts merged pull requests slightly higher (13,030 this year, 5,708 in September, UTC months); the table uses the git history count. Lines of code and test counts are deliberately left off: they are inflated by generated files and say nothing an investor should weigh.
Fede asked for the numbers to be redone from scratch. The second count used its own code, re-read the production table, and bucketed months in Central Time. It then removed two phone numbers the first count had left in: a team test phone and an alarm-system auto-dialer that rang Camellia's line about once a weekday and said nothing (173 silent calls). Texts, emails and tours did not move; conversations and calls did.
| Metric | First count (Trinity) | Recount | Why it moved |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tours booked | 103 | 101 | Two tours belonged to conversations with a team phone number on them. |
| Conversations handled | 1,127 | 945 | 173 silent auto-dialer calls and 8 team-phone threads removed, plus the extra phone and email-domain checks. |
| Texts in / sent | 299 / 897 | 305 / 902 | New rows written after the first scan, minus 1 blocked draft that was never sent. |
| Emails in / sent | 351 / 660 | 350 / 652 | 6 blocked drafts and 5 rows from team email domains removed. |
| Emails to leads and residents | ~580 (estimate) | 438 (exact) | The first count guessed the staff share. Counted by message kind, 214 of Clara's emails are notices to client staff, 98 of them the "tour confirmed" email to the leasing desk. |
| Phone calls | 870 | 689 | 173 auto-dialer calls and 8 team-phone calls removed; older calls bucketed by Central day instead of UTC day. |
Two provider cross-checks land on the same number: ElevenLabs shows 688 answered calls with the same numbers removed (database 689), and Twilio's inbound call counts for Camellia match ElevenLabs month by month. Separately, Twilio's lifetime text total is inflated by about 5,000 texts sent to one test number in March, mostly failed, before the first real customer message on Apr 6.
Working files: the recount report, monthly JSON, provider cross-check and engineering report live in the app repo's ignored tmp-artifacts folder on Fede's Mac (ytd-recount-2026-10-02.md, provider-crosscheck-2026-10-02.md, engineering-velocity-2026-10-02.md).
