Frequently Asked Questions
Should I ask for a pilot first?
Yes: a 30-day pilot with agreed metrics (SLA, throughput, coverage) and a reversion clause converts a policy fight into a data question. See the remote policy guide (/guides-remote-policy.html).

If a medical condition is involved, route through HR as an ADA accommodation — the FMLA & ADA guide (/guides-fmla-ada.html) explains the difference.
