A blocking pass and a preview come earlier. Timing, weight, and a director buying it do not.
It also does not predict how many people will lose their jobs.

Where the time goes
Score = Σ (weight × saving). Weight is our estimate from frequency, not a time share published by O*NET. Saving is separate.
Weights are our estimate from O*NET frequency (FT). O*NET does not publish % of the week.
