    Context Switching

    The cognitive tax of moving between unrelated tasks, destroying focus and extending delivery times.

    Why It Matters

    Every context switch costs 15-25 minutes of recovery time. When your best engineers are constantly pulled between tickets, projects, and escalations, they spend more time re-orienting than delivering. The real cost isn't the interruption—it's the cumulative destruction of deep work.

    How Allari Addresses This

    Power of 15™ measures work in 15-minute increments, making the cost of context switching visible. When you can see that an engineer spent 12 of 32 work segments on interruptions, you can fix the process—not blame the person.
