Data note: Everything runs in this browser tab on the scope timer: your assignment notes and hours stays on this device, nothing is uploaded, and the reading is rebuilt only when you press run.
Perspective: Before: the reader worked until it felt finished. After: they can see the brief asked for four hours and their own task list adds to eleven.

Boundary and sources
This scope timer works only on the assignment tasks and hour estimates you paste you paste. It does not withdraw you from the process, does not judge the employer's motives, and does not write or edit the assignment itself. The figures describe what you supplied, not what is true in the world. Confirm anything you plan to act on with the hiring manager, in one short written message before you rely on it.
- Every figure comes from the assignment tasks and hour estimates you paste you paste; nothing is looked up, scraped or asserted as verified.
- Method: task hours are summed and compared with the cap printed in the brief; each task also shows its share of the total
- Sample values are labelled samples — illustrative by design, not your data and not a quotation of any organisation's policy.
