1. The Foundational Sorting Question
"Think about the last thing you meant to do and didn’t. Which describes what happened?"
Source Principle: Apps don't compete directly. Notion, Todoist, and Focus timers solve three orthogonal failures. App-hopping happens when you buy a Triage tool for a Capture problem.
2. Friction Stress-Tester
Calibrate realistic workday stress to measure where your pipeline drops tasks.
Daily Inbound Task Volume
14 tasks/day
Interruptions per Hour
5 int/hr
Quick-Entry Latency (Seconds to Record)
12s
* When latency > 8s and interruptions exceed 4/hr, verbal commitments suffer over 60% probability of dropping before triage.
3. Live Task Throughput & Leakage Pipeline
Visualizing task survival through Capture, Triage, and Execution gates.
Capture Efficiency
92%
Triage Survival
68%
Execution Clearance
55%
Detected Structural Bottleneck: Capture Failure
Quick-entry latency exceeding 10 seconds causes task dropoff before storage. Tasks spoken in meetings or walking to lunch are lost. You need an Instant Frictionless Capture Inbox with a single global shortcut or dedicated lockscreen widget.
4. The 3-Part Non-Redundant Stack Blueprint
Assign exactly one tool to each breakdown without overlapping feature sprawl.
Stage 1: Capture Engine
Rule: Target < 4 seconds from thought to saved text. No folders or tags allowed at capture.
Stage 2: Triage Filter
Rule: Triage happens only once per day. If a task isn't in today's top 3, it is invisible.
Stage 3: Execution Gate
Rule: Zero app switching while timer runs. One task on screen, rest minimized.
