Lost Productivity
Quantifying the cost of context loss and tool switching.
The Numbers Speak
- 2.5 hours per day: The average time a knowledge worker spends searching for information and re-assembling context across tools (IDC).
- $12,000 per employee annually: Direct financial loss attributable to fragmented information retrieval.
- 60% of work time: Spent on "work about work" — status updates, handoffs, sync meetings, and double data entry.
Work shouldn't be about maintaining records in five tools. Work should be about driving outcomes.
