How to use this tool

  1. Enter sources, screen seconds, keep pct, read minutes, notes minutes.
  2. Use consistent units shown beside each input. Run the calculation and review the assumptions below.

Try this example

{
  "sources": 100,
  "screen_seconds": 45,
  "keep_pct": 20,
  "read_minutes": 25,
  "notes_minutes": 5
}

Accuracy and scope

Workload assumptions only, not a systematic-review completeness or evidence-quality assessment.
