Audited planning profile
This household daily profile applies a 4× editable baseline across 1 model period to the queue waiting buffer model.
Use the buffered result for planning and the unbuffered result as the transparent baseline. Use household totals and include irregular shared costs rather than only one person's spending. Use a typical day and separately test peak or exceptional days.
Interruptions, dependencies, holidays and human variability must be added to the editable inputs or buffer.
Compare the estimate with recent actual completion times and reserve capacity for interruptions.
