Frequently Asked Questions

How does it calculate productivity cost?
We use peer-reviewed research showing each Slack interruption costs ~23 minutes of deep focus recovery time. We multiply your team's average salary by interruptions per day to surface the true dollar cost.
What Slack data does it access?
We read message timestamps and channel activity via Slack's read-only OAuth scopes. We never read message content — only metadata needed to count interruptions and response patterns.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Cancel from your billing portal at any time. No contracts, no questions asked.
