Hold on, I'm just getting to the car

the Voice-Note Duration Envelope as a speaking-time specification

A paper from the School of Continuous Improvement surveys 1,847 adults and a diary subsample of 214 on the duration of household group-chat voice notes, reported as distributions by chat type, and adopts the pooled twentieth-to-eightieth percentile --- 8.0 to 47.5 seconds --- as the Voice-Note Duration Envelope. Improvement Grand Rounds now minutes a spoken contribution if and only if it falls inside the Envelope, with no chair's override; across the first four sessions mean turn length fell from 71 s to 22 s as speakers padded short questions and clipped long answers.
