This backend powers a robust, auditable, data-driven task tracking system designed to eliminate manipulation, ensure fairness, and give management full clarity into productivity and planning accuracy.
This document explains the key analytical frameworks built into the system:
- MEAS — Manager Estimation Accuracy Score
- Bias Detection Engine
- MEAS Trendline Generator (6 months)
- EPS — Employee Performance Score
These features directly address historical issues like:
✔ Manipulated allocated hours ✔ Fake efficiency ✔ Manager bias ✔ Incorrect task logs ✔ Poor planning visibility
Score Range: 0 → 100
| Score | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 100 | Perfect estimation accuracy |
| > 80 | Good, reliable estimation |
| < 60 | Poor estimation accuracy |
| < 40 | Requires immediate oversight |
- Managers who under-allocate to artificially increase team “efficiency”
- Managers who over-allocate (padding work, slowing throughput)
- Managers who are accurate and consistent
- Projects with high risk due to poor planning
- Employees suffering from unrealistic deadlines
deviation = |actualHours - allocatedHours| / allocatedHours
accuracy = max(0, 100 - deviation * 100)
MEAS = average(accuracy across all tasks for the month)
Bias is the manager’s tendency to systematically over- or under-estimate task hours.
bias = (actualHours - allocatedHours) / allocatedHours
| Bias Value | Meaning | Behavior |
|---|---|---|
| > +0.20 (+20%) | Manager consistently under-estimates | ❌ Unrealistic deadlines — BAD |
| < -0.20 (−20%) | Manager consistently over-estimates | ⚠ Inefficient planning — padding |
| -0.20 → +0.20 | Healthy, balanced estimation | ✅ GOOD |
- Protects employees from overload
- Exposes padding and hidden inefficiency
- Creates real planning accountability
- Helps leadership coach managers effectively
This is one of the MOST valuable analytics tools.
- Whether a manager is improving or declining
- Consistency of estimation quality
- Impact of complexity/training
- Project-level planning stability
- Reliability & predictability trends

Leadership can visually identify:
- Improvement curve 📈
- Decline 📉
- Inconsistency ⚠
- High-performance stability 🌟
EPS ensures employees are evaluated only based on transparent, system-tracked data, NOT:
✘ Fake efficiency ✘ Manual edits ✘ Incorrect allocations ✘ Manager favoritism ✘ Subjective reviews
EPS = Weighted score derived from 6 pillars.
| Pillar | Meaning | Weight |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Task Completion Rate | Completed vs assigned tasks | 25% |
| 2. Overrun Behavior | Exceeding allocated hours | 20% |
| 3. Underutilization Behavior | Finishing too fast (<60% of time) | 10% |
| 4. Rework Frequency | Number of tasks needing rework | 20% |
| 5. Time Discipline | Forgot stop, auto-closings, breaks | 15% |
| 6. Session Quality | Idle vs active time | 10% |
completionScore = completedTasks / assignedTasks
Measured monthly.
overrunCount = tasks where actual > allocated
overrunPercent = overrunCount / completedTasks
overrunScore = 100 - (overrunPercent * 100)
High overruns = poor time estimation or work inefficiency.
Triggered if employee finishes task using < 60% allocated time.
underutilizedScore = 100 - (underutilizedPercent * 100)
Meaning:
- Rushing work
- Shallow implementation
- Lack of task depth
- Overconfidence in work speed
reworkScore = 100 - (reworkTasks / totalTasks * 100)
High rework count signals:
- Low quality
- Poor attention to detail
- Misunderstanding requirements
Automatically penalizes system-detected behaviors:
| Flag Type | Penalty |
|---|---|
| Auto-close | 5% |
| Forgot-stop | 3% |
| Frequent rework starts | 2% |
| Excessive pauses | 1% |
disciplineScore = 100 - (flagsCount * penaltyWeight)
idlePercentage = idleTime / activeTime
If idle > 20% → score reduced.
Shows:
- How focused the employee is
- Whether work is continuous or too fragmented
EPS =
completionScore * 0.25 +
overrunScore * 0.20 +
underutilizedScore * 0.10 +
reworkScore * 0.20 +
disciplineScore * 0.15 +
sessionScore * 0.10
Range: 0 → 100
| Score | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 90–100 | Outstanding performer |
| 75–89 | Strong and reliable |
| 60–74 | Average — needs guidance |
| 40–59 | Needs improvement |
| < 40 | Serious performance issue |
✔ Eliminate manipulation of allocated hours ✔ Track work discipline accurately ✔ Identify underperforming or overloaded employees ✔ Identify poor managers early ✔ Bring complete transparency across hierarchy ✔ Enable CEO to take data-driven decisions ✔ Build a mature, metric-driven engineering culture
