The Brain / Capabilities / Interruption budget

SENSE

It interrupts anyone
only a few times an hour.

WorkElate Chief, the Brain, interrupts at most 40 times an hour company-wide and 5 per person, and never raises an item twice.

What it looks like on a Tuesday

A busy hour, and what was not said

14:00

Thirty-one candidates across five systems

Every one is true and defensible. This is the hour that ruins an unbudgeted assistant.

14:01

Nineteen are the same item

One moved date produced eleven candidates; one quiet thread produced eight. They collapse to two items, each raised once.

14:03

Three people get one each, two wait

The account manager has already had five pushes this hour, so their item queues. Nobody hears that thirty-one things happened.

How it works

Three mechanisms

01

Two ceilings, counted centrally

One cap for the company, one per person, counted in one place. A ceiling is not a target; judgment raises fewer.

02

Cooldowns, so an item is raised once

Within its window the same item is updated in place, not raised again. Otherwise a growing gap would ring every hour.

03

The numbers are sentences, not constants

Each limit is a preference stored as a sentence. Fewer pushes at month end: said once, changed by saying otherwise.

What it is not

Three honest limits

A ration makes noise survivable, not judgment perfect.

It governs what the Brain says, not your colleagues.

Sends, deletes and shares still wait for a person.
