01 / The starting point

A clear request.
A useful direction.

Recent screenshots from an approved device and a chosen review period

“Compare a minimum set of recent screenshots across the chosen period and report whether the visible screen appears idle, active, or inconclusive.”
An example request · Make it specific to your team.

02 / The work

5 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Collects recent screenshots for a selected device, checks whether they span the minimum review period, and looks for meaningful on-screen changes.

  1. Choose an approved device and review period

    Select the device and a limited time window that is appropriate for the operational question.

  2. Check whether enough snapshots are available

    Require a minimum number of images over a minimum span; return an inconclusive result when evidence is insufficient.

  3. Compare visible screen changes

    Review snapshots in time order and summarize whether the displayed content appears meaningfully different.

  4. Respect the review cooldown

    Avoid repeated checks inside the configured waiting period.

  5. Have a person interpret the result

    Review the summary and surrounding context before making any operational decision.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

A cautious activity assessment with a brief explanation and the reporting period considered. If there is too little evidence, the result stays inconclusive.

The handoff

A cautious activity assessment with a brief explanation and the reporting period considered. If there is too little evidence, the result stays inconclusive.

Keep in mind

A still or changing screen does not prove what a person is doing. Treat the assessment as limited evidence for a human to review, not as a definitive judgment about an individual.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Confirm permitted device access

Choose only devices and screenshot records you are authorized to review.

Set a proportionate review window

Choose the time period, minimum screenshot count, minimum span, and maximum images needed for the intended check.

Set a cooldown

Choose how long to wait between checks so the same device is not reviewed too frequently.

Define interpretation and escalation

Name the human reviewer and agree that inconclusive or context-sensitive results require follow-up rather than a conclusion.
