Productivity baseline
A measured cost and effort baseline before anything changes, per person and per work type.
Baseline
We are about to spend on transformation and we cannot say what the work costs today.
What Pyze Measures
- Every person and every application, continuously
- Hands-on time separated from elapsed time
- Work inside the system of record and outside it
- Effort attributed to the process step that consumed it
Typical Findings
- Roughly half the working day sitting outside the system of record
- A wide spread between people on identical work
- Effort concentrated in steps not previously identified as expensive
Levers That Address It

Outcome
A documented baseline. Every later savings claim is measured against it rather than based on an estimate.
Limitations
A baseline reconstructed after a change is an estimate. Instrumentation must be in place before the change.
Apply This to Your Operations
Six weeks from instrumentation to a priced opportunity register, with the baseline left in place to measure what the change recovered.
