Some stalls never reach the glass. They happen in the chairs. A waiting-room study is application analytics aimed at the minutes before a number is called: where people sit, whether they can see the desk, whether the form on the clipboard can be finished without a lap, and what the clock does to patience.
What we watch
- How the door, the ticket machine, and the first sign share a visitor’s first ten seconds
- Which seats are left empty even when the room is full
- Whether companions (children, carers, translators) have a place to stand
- How often people get up to ask “is this the right queue?”
What you get
A plan of the room as used, not as drawn, with notes on sight lines and a short list of changes that do not require builders — moving a brochure rack, turning two chairs, raising a number display. Service usage insights here are about time and posture as much as about the form itself.
What we will not do
We do not time individuals for disciplinary files. We do not photograph faces. A sketch of furniture layout is enough.
