Measuring one seat: a six-source workload audit

When the workload question came up, I measured instead of estimating: every calendar event parsed programmatically, 135 recorded meetings, sampled mail, Slack, 867 build-session transcripts, and commits across 14 repos — overlaps merged so nothing counted twice. The result sized the seat at sixteen distinct functions, each with its hours accounted for.

• The method is the point: union of calendar and verified build activity, parallel sessions merged, travel and phone excluded and declared as understated.
• The finding: sixteen distinct functions running through one seat — the scope, measured rather than estimated.
