── WHAT THIS PRODUCES ──

A tracked window of real behavior, sorted into six decisions, with the ones that create work turned into tasks that have owners.

Time
15 to 30 minutes to configure. After that, tracking happens inside your working day rather than alongside it.It is not a separate project. You are not carving out hours to run a time study. You are pressing start and stop while doing the work you were already going to do, and the review at the end is 30 to 90 minutes once.
Diagnostic window
3 to 7 consecutive days.

── DEFINITION OF DONE ──

Facts
Every meaningful block carries a clean label under a scoring method you chose deliberately, with notes wherever the work got confusing or repeated or delayed.
Feelings
Clearer and less foggy rather than judged.
Functionality
Every meaningful activity sorted into one of the six decisions, with the ones that create work existing as real tasks and the ones that do not existing as written decisions. If the study does not change what happens next, it did not finish.
