>If you need an employee to produce a continuous task log, they aren't producing value

Uh? This is not some kind of engineering job. An employee of mcdonalds who's not flipping burgers is indeed not producing any value.

If they have %10-%20 of their time to keep a log, that's a deadweight imposed cost on their performance, which will only be a function of the %80 remainder.

You can get data on mean time between burgers from the point of sale system or add a sensor to the burger storage unit, just like you can get data on feature cadence from Jira.

Beyond a certain point, management is parasitic to capital. That point is very low.
