# Illustrative output: workload check

**Status:** Preliminary arithmetic and constraint review. **Intake:** Uploaded fictional note.

| Task | Supplied volume | Supplied time | Arithmetic estimate | Capacity / status |
|---|---:|---:|---:|---|
| Enter monthly partner reports | 40 reports/month | 20 minutes/report | 40 × 20 = 800 minutes, or 13 hours 20 minutes/month | 20 hours reserved; leaves 6 hours 40 minutes for other task demands, before any unmeasured work |
| Quarterly spot checks | Not supplied | Not supplied | Not calculable | Required, workload unknown |

## Facts and limits
- The report-entry estimate uses the supplied monthly count and observed time.
- The estimate does not include validation, corrections, meetings, or quarterly checks because their volumes and time are unknown.
- One month of time logging may not represent future periods. This is a design limitation, not a measured forecast.

## Proposed options
1. Time-log report validation and spot checks for one cycle before deciding whether capacity is sufficient.
2. Review whether reports can share a common data format. This is a proposal; no reduction in required reporting is assumed.

## Decisions needed
- Supply expected hours and scope for quarterly checks.
- Confirm whether the observed 20-minute average includes data cleaning and follow-up.
- No budget or staffing change is recommended from these inputs alone.
