Where your team really loses time.
Quantify idle, blocked, overdue, orphaned, rework, and stale work as a single index. See the leak before it becomes a write-off.
Without this
Here's what delivery feels like today.
Waste is invisible until retrospective
Work that sat idle. Tasks that blocked other tasks. Rework nobody tracked. It all shows up at the end — as a mystery.
Nobody measures it in dollars
'We're losing time' is a vague claim. 'We're losing $340K/year to blocked work' is a decision-grade number. Most tools give you the first.
Rework and stale work keep repeating
Without visibility, the same patterns come back every quarter. Same blocked dependencies, same orphaned tasks, same half-done initiatives.
With Kumty
Here's what changes.
Six waste categories, one index
Idle, Blocked, Overdue, Orphaned, Rework, and Stale — each measured, each scored, combined into a single Execution Waste Index you can track over time.
Dollar cost per category
Blended hourly rates × wasted hours = dollars. You can take this number to the board. It's auditable and it's real.
Trend analysis with radar visualization
See waste by category on a radar chart. Watch the shape change over time. Know whether your interventions are actually working.
How It Works
Six categories. Six leaks. One index.
- 1
Detect waste across six categories
Idle (work assigned but not progressing), Blocked (waiting on a dependency), Overdue (past deadline), Orphaned (no owner), Rework (reopened tasks), Stale (untouched for too long).
- 2
Score each category in hours and dollars
Blended hourly rate × affected hours = dollar cost per category. Weighted composite into the Execution Waste Index.
- 3
Visualize on a radar chart
Six axes, one shape. The shape tells you the failure mode — blocked-heavy, rework-heavy, stale-heavy. Each has a different intervention.
- 4
Track the trend
Snapshots stored per project and per portfolio. Week-over-week comparison. The radar shape should shrink as you intervene — and you can prove it.
Six waste categories measured in hours and dollars. Radar visualization with trend. Snapshots per project and per portfolio. Tenant-configurable blended hourly rates.
What It Feels Like
The day-to-day difference.
Before
“We're wasting time. A lot of it. I can feel it. I just can't prove it to finance.”
After
“$340K/year in waste. 47% blocked, 22% rework, 18% idle. Here's the radar. Here's the trend. Here's where we intervene.”
