A field study on operational capture

Your inbox has a system.
Your calendar has a system.
Your camera roll has none.

It holds the same work. You process it by hand, every time.

Everyone does this. No one has measured it.

Something matters, so you screenshot it. A flight, an invoice, a contact, an instruction, an approval. It lands in the camera roll with everything else. Later, by hand, you do the work it stands for. A calendar entry. A task. A message. A record.

One grid. The work sits between everything else.

This study is the first structured look at how operators actually capture and route that work. Thirty in so far. The honest version of this problem has never been written down, so I am writing it down.

Take part.

A few questions on how you actually capture and route work. An optional call if you want to go deeper. Findings shared back when the study closes.

The study asks how you work. It never asks for your screenshots. Responses are handled in line with GDPR.
