I didn't know people were using these non ironically.

Might as well go back to counting the number of lines or number of commits. It doesn't sound as good as "granularity" and "velocity" though. The good thing with velocity is that it doesn't care which way you're going as long as you're going there fast, so you can never be wrong

Velocity famously being a vector with a direction. Go in the wrong direction you'd have negative velocity.

Your description would be better for the concept of speed (IE the magnitude of velocity or directionless velocity).
