I have to put in documentation and a good explanation. But I just wanted to see if any managers thought the tool might be useful.

The problem it is trying to solve is to minimise the amount of work people think they are doing by allocating jobs to people who want them most.

All the jobs would be 100% of the work. Each employee puts in what % of the total each job would be for them. The system optimizes so that each employee has the same perceived effort and that perceived effort is minimized. There are some obvious UX fixes that need to be made but I would be interested to hear what you think of the problem/solution idea?

It's tough to see what this is about at all, and yes, you need to have more to say what it does.

I found this:

    A computer aided asset division process
    for legal professionals

Fair point. I will write up a proper description.

The main site is about dividing up goods. Lawyers do it and might pay for it.

This app is about dividing up bads (tasks). It was meant to be a toy but something about the problem is sticking in my craw as something more serious.
