Productivity

Roles: worker, task, output, efficiency, throughput, bottleneck, workflow

The measure and optimization of output relative to input in work contexts. As a source domain, productivity foregrounds throughput, efficiency, and the elimination of waste. The frame draws heavily from manufacturing metaphors (pipeline, bottleneck, throughput) and increasingly from culinary ones (mise en place, flow state).
