Do Defined Pause Reasons Improve Service-Time Review?
A blinded synthetic comparison of raw event logs and governed pause records.
Research question: Can declared pause reasons improve reproduction of adjusted service time without hiding raw elapsed time?
Method: Create eighty synthetic timelines with active work, missing evidence, owner review, provider waits, outages, invalid pauses, and late restarts.
Measures: Report calculation error, invalid-pause acceptance, correct escalation, reviewer agreement, and time. Lock the classification and calculation rules before review.
Decision boundary: Reviewers identify evidence conditions. They do not set service targets, excuse delays, judge employee impact, or decide whether a pause is fair.
Limitations: Live logs may contain disputed timestamps, overlapping pauses, clock changes, and incomplete migrations. A live pilot needs approved definitions, privacy review, an audit trail, and a stop condition.
