Randall,

I plan to update the public details section and the performance impact as
you recommended.

Regarding state-specific counts, I do agree this is a useful addition.
Before I make the change, I'd like to agree that these state-specific
counts should be in addition to the already-proposed total tasks count
(even though might be redundant, it is robust against new/missed connector
states, and is a useful metric in its own right), yes?
