Time Operators
Measure where the time actually goes.
For the people who carry the weight: owners, founders and operators with real P&L responsibility. The week gets taken by three different things — the meetings on the calendar, the work moving through the business, and the people who stop you — and each one needs its own instrument.
Every number comes with the arithmetic beside it. Nothing is scored, nobody is graded, and none of it needs an account.
Under a minute, once you have your calendar export. The export itself is the slow part.
What an instrument is here
A measurement, not a score and not a quiz. It states what it counted, what it could not count, and the assumption under every figure. If you disagree with an assumption, the arithmetic is on the page to redo.
Your instruments
Three, and they do not overlap.
Run them in any order. Each one is useful on its own, and each measures something the other two cannot see.
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.
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, and each estimate states the assumption it rests on. Where something could not be measured, the instrument says so rather than averaging over the gap.
The Library is the reference behind all three: twenty kinds of time leak and ten tools, with what to measure for each. It collects nothing and scores nobody.
