Philippines staffing research
Workload sizing for Philippines outsourcing research
A 10-check method for sizing recurring offshore work without hiding exceptions, review time, or owner decisions.
Method: measure volume, handling time, exception rate, review time, seasonality, dependencies, and decision latency before assigning a seat.
Headline finding: a workload brief should expose at least 10 evidence fields before a capacity conclusion is trusted.
Build a weekly table with inputs, outputs, normal work, exception work, backlog age, quality sample, coverage window, owner review, source links, and assumptions. Link to /research/philippines-operations-coordination-capacity-research and /research/philippines-outsourcing-weekly-review-method for related context.
FAQ: Does this produce a hiring quota? No. It produces a testable operating assumption that the owner should revisit after sample data.
