Methodology Assumptions: Based on an average of 21 working days per month and a standard 2,080-hour work year. Compounded context-switching cost is modeled conservatively at 30 seconds for an expected first push notification of the day and 168 seconds for concurrent, mid-day pushes (including direct step duration and localized cognitive recovery/short-term memory restoration intervals). Employee costs are estimated at 1.3 times their salary to account for benefits and overhead.
