About
For the people who carry the weight.
Owners, founders and operators with real P&L responsibility — the person the work stops at, whose week gets spent by everyone else’s. People deploying leverage, not reading about it.
That last part is why this site is a rack of instruments rather than a pile of articles. You already know your time is going somewhere. The useful question is where, how much, and which part of it needed you at all — and those are measurements, not opinions.
What an instrument is here
A measurement, not a quiz and not a score. It states what it counted, what it could not count, and the assumption under every figure. Estimates are labelled as estimates and never added to measured numbers. If you disagree with an assumption, the arithmetic is on the page to redo.
What is here
Three instruments, and they do not overlap.
A week gets taken by different things, and one tool cannot see all of them. Each of these measures something the other two are blind to. Run them in any order, or run one and stop.
Calendar Audit
Where your meeting hours go, which series keep coming back, how much of the week is left to build in, and what the travel costs.
Under a minute, once you have your calendar export. The export itself is the slow part.
Workflow Touch Audit
How work moves through the business: the reports nobody reads, the approvals that wait on you, the data typed twice, the account that eats the week.
About ten minutes, one question at a time.
Interruption Audit
What stops you, who stops you, how long it takes — and how much of it actually needed you.
Three working days in your pocket. Ten seconds per interruption, one tap.
Behind them is the Library: twenty kinds of time leak and ten tools, with what to measure for each. It collects nothing and scores nobody. Sign in and the Advisor reads your finished runs together and returns one recommendation — it is the only part of this site that needs an account, and it is an addition rather than a gate on anything below it.
How the numbers work
One formula, applied everywhere.
Every hours figure on this site is the length of the thing, times how often it happens, times the people it takes, times 52 weeks. Your own hours and the team-wide total are always shown apart, because they are different claims about different money.
The same discipline runs through all of it. A measured number and an estimate never get added together. A cost that rests on research says whose research, on the line. And a figure built from half your entries says it was built from half your entries, so you can read it as the floor it is.

Why it is always the same
A meeting, an approval that waits on you, a report nobody reads and a person in your doorway are the same shape of problem: something that takes a while, happens often, and costs more than one person’s time. One formula means the numbers from three instruments can sit beside each other and mean something together.
What this will not do
The refusals are the product as much as the features.
Most of what makes a measurement trustworthy is what it declines to claim.
No score and no grade
Nothing here ranks you against anyone. Every instrument returns your own numbers with the arithmetic beside them, and the arithmetic is there so you can disagree with it.
Nothing is withheld
There is no account required to run an instrument, to finish it, or to read what it found. You can do all of it without telling us who you are.
Your calendar is never uploaded
The export is read and analysed inside your browser. What gets saved is the finished report, so you have a link to it: aggregate numbers and the titles of flagged meetings, never attendee names, emails or descriptions.
Read-only, always
Nothing here writes to your calendar, moves a meeting, or connects to your accounts to watch them. It measures. What you do about it is yours.
No email, ever, unless you ask
There is no newsletter box on this site and nothing is mailed to you automatically. If you sign in, that address is how the Advisor knows you, and the switch to be left alone is on your account page.
A gap is reported, not averaged over
Where something could not be measured, the instrument says so and leaves it out. A number with a hole in it, labelled, is worth more than a complete-looking number that quietly guessed.
Where this is today
Said plainly, including the rough edges.
Three instruments, the Library behind them, and an Advisor that reads your finished runs when you are signed in. Your runs are remembered in this browser, on this device — not on your phone, not on another computer, and gone if you clear your site data. Signing in does not move them yet. That is a real limit and it is written on the home page beside the list rather than discovered later.
This is built by one person, in the open, and it is used on his own week before anyone else sees it. When something here is wrong, it tends to be found that way.
