Lap Recording Use Cases
Running/swimming: record each lap to identify pace consistency issues. Code review: lap per file — see which files take the most time. Meeting facilitation: lap per agenda item — see where time actually went. Manufacturing: lap per production step — identify bottlenecks.
Analyzing Lap Data
After collecting 5–10 laps, look for outliers. A lap that's 2× longer than average indicates a problem — an unusually complex code file, a slow production step, an agenda item that ran over. Lap data turns 'this took too long' into 'specifically step 3 took 3× longer than the others'.
