Capacity & Output
Make work visible without separating the output from the human cost and conditions required to produce it.
Establish the observation boundary
- Define the activity, observation window, source, and intended use.
- Distinguish observed output, user-reported effects, external records, and derived interpretation.
- Treat one session or short period as an observation, not a durable capacity conclusion.
Do not infer full-time capacity, work readiness, disability status, sustainable employment, or medical conclusions.
Record the capacity context
Capture when available:
- date, duration, and available working window;
- task type and concrete output;
- position, device, workspace, assistance, and accommodations;
- pain, fatigue, cognitive, sensory, autonomic, or other constraints;
- breaks, interruptions, task switching, and abandoned work;
- immediate effect and delayed recovery cost;
- repeatability status:
OBSERVED_ONCE, VARIABLE, REPEATABLE_WITHIN_CURRENT_EVIDENCE, or NOT_YET_KNOWN;
- source type and confidence for each material statement.
Interpret conservatively
- Describe demonstrated skill separately from sustainable capacity.
- State what the accommodation changed without claiming it removed the underlying limitation.
- Count recovery time and delayed effects as part of the work context.
- Preserve uncertainty when repeatability has not been tested.
- Route medical, benefits, disability, vocational, funding, or employer conclusions to the proper authority.
Minimum output contract
Return:
- observation purpose and window;
- output achieved;
- conditions and accommodations;
- limiting factors and interruptions;
- immediate and delayed recovery cost;
- repeatability status;
- source labels and uncertainty;
- bounded interpretation;
- prohibited conclusions explicitly withheld;
- exact next observation or review trigger.
Apply the neverlost-review-workflow when the record will support an external document, vocational packet, accessibility request, disability discussion, or public portfolio claim.
Run the validated synthetic prototype
For an authorized synthetic demonstration, validate the record with schemas/capacity-record.schema.json and run python3 scripts/run_demo_validation.py with the exact case specification, fixture manifest, and output directory. Treat any failed recovery-cost, repeatability, source, privacy, or prohibited-claim check as gate-blocking.
Keep the primary capacity observation tied to the source that actually reports the activity. Do not silently merge a separate occupational-therapy simulation, provider statement, or vocational record into the client observation count; carry those sources through their proper lanes and bridges instead.
The validated synthetic fixtures are FHP-SYNTH-001 and FHP-SYNTH-002. Automated tracking, trend analysis, work-capacity prediction, real-client use, external distribution, acceptance-test claims, and operational use remain unauthorized.
1---2name: capacity-output3description: Record useful output together with the conditions, accommodations, constraints, variability, and recovery cost that made it possible. Use when documenting capacity-aware work sessions, accessibility effects, pacing, episodic productivity, recovery needs, portfolio activity, vocational evidence, or when a successful task could be misread as proof of full-time capacity, work readiness, disability status, or sustainable employment.4---56# Capacity & Output78Make work visible without separating the output from the human cost and conditions required to produce it.910## Establish the observation boundary11121.
