Time-entry leakage
The hours nobody wrote down.
Time entered days late is reconstructed from memory, and memory under-counts. The hours that never make it in are delivered work the agency will never bill.
Signs it is happening
01
Timesheets are chased every Friday
02
Entries cluster at the end of the week or month
03
Utilisation looks lower than the team feels
04
Invoices are delayed waiting for time
Why it happens
It is almost never because the people are careless. It is how the work is set up around them.
Friction
Logging time is a separate task in a separate tool.
No prompt
Nothing suggests what the person actually worked on.
Lag
The longer the delay, the more is forgotten.

How we measure it. The Diagnostic measures average time-entry lag in days and compares delivered time with billed time.
Common questions
Is this surveillance?
No. Entries are suggestions; the person always confirms or edits them.
What is time-entry lag?
The average number of days between doing the work and recording it.
