Context-Switching Audit Worksheet
Excel + PDF · 8 pages
Measure exactly how much your firm loses to client-context switching per week, per person, per dollar. Same methodology behind Practiq's ROI calculator.
What's inside
- Context-switch self-observation log (5 days × 8 time slots = 40 data points per person)
- Per-switch recovery time measurement protocol (how to measure accurately without lying to yourself)
- Weekly aggregation worksheet — converts observations into annual dollar loss
- Benchmark comparison table — how your number stacks against vertical averages (6-12 min per switch)
- Cause-diagnosis decision tree — tooling? documentation? memory? staff depth?
- 3 remediation tiers by cost — zero-cost, low-cost, platform-level
- ROI projection worksheet for the remediation you're considering
Who this is for
Any 2-20 person professional services firm with 15+ active clients where partners or senior staff switch between clients multiple times per day.

Why this works
This is the exact audit methodology behind Practiq's /roi-calculator, de-bundled so firms can run it themselves. The worksheet surfaces the number partners usually guess at ("I lose 2 hours/day to context switching, right?") and pins it down.
The outcome
You know your firm's context-switching cost to within ±15% and can evaluate remediation investments against it.
