FAQ

Because we don't have enough crowdsourced data yet. Until at least 5 employees from a company verify their work email, that company is hidden from the public leaderboard (k=5 anonymity gate). In the meantime, we show published research figures from sources like Microsoft Work Trend Index, Atlassian State of Teams, and HBR — each linked inline and listed on /sources. We'd rather be transparent about an empty dataset than look full with made-up numbers.

Five verified employees from the same email domain. Until then the company page shows a progress bar (X of 5) and a "be the first" call to action. When the count hits 5, the page goes live with weekly averages, an aliased contributor list, and a shareable embeddable badge.

No. We never publish your raw email, your name, or anything that identifies you. We store an HMAC hash of your email, an opaque alias like "quiet-fox-4821", and aggregate your numbers into your company's weekly average alongside everyone else's. Companies with fewer than 5 verified employees aren't shown at all.

Two reasons. First, the domain is how we know which company to bucket you into — crowdsourced data without verification is worthless. Second, requiring a real work email makes it expensive to fake data at scale. Personal-email domains (gmail, outlook, proton, etc.) are blocked because they identify no company.

Anything where the audience is your own org: 1-on-1s, standups, sprint planning, retros, all-hands, OKR reviews, performance reviews, "syncs", "alignment", design crits, etc. External meetings (with customers, candidates, partners) are different work — they're not the thing this site is measuring.

Once per week, ideally on Friday or first thing Monday. We store one row per (you, ISO week). Re-submitting a week overwrites; you get up to 3 edits per week before that week locks. No notifications, no nags.

That week just isn't included in your company's average. No problem. The leaderboard is per-week, so it self-corrects fast.

You'll see aggregated stats — count, average hours, distribution — but not individual rows. Other people's aliases on the public company page are intentionally not linkable to anything else.

Because the whole point is to make the data load-bearing. "Average tech company burns 11 hrs/wk on meetings" is a curiosity. "Salesforce ranks #2 globally this week at 24.7 hrs/wk" is something an exec might actually look at.

Yes. We publish aggregated, anonymized data about workplace practices, contributed voluntarily by verified employees with explicit consent at submission. No personally-identifying info is published. Companies are public legal entities, not individuals, so they don't have personal-data protections; published numbers are protected commentary.

One click on the delete button (in your account settings, once signed in). Your user row is removed and your submissions cascade-delete with it. We retain nothing — not even the email hash.

A one-person side project. Runs on Cloudflare's free tier (Pages + Workers + D1 + KV + Turnstile + cookieless analytics). The whole stack costs ~$0/mo at launch scale. No VC money, no ads, no upsells, no newsletter, no growth-hacks.

SvelteKit + TypeScript on Cloudflare Workers/Pages, SQLite via D1, Resend for transactional email, Cloudflare Turnstile for bot defense. Source isn't public yet — privacy-relevant code (email hashing, OTP, session signing) will be auditable on a public branch before the v1.0 launch.
