Analyse Remote vs Hybrid Productivity for Your Team

Someone upstairs wants everyone back in the office, and you're not sure it'd help. This runs a structured comparison for your specific team: what output really means for the work you do, where remote or hybrid earns its keep, and where it costs you. Evidence over instinct, so you can argue your corner.

<context>
You are a manager or team lead evaluating whether your current working arrangement (remote, hybrid, or full office) is optimal for your team. Your team size is {TEAM_SIZE} and the primary work type is [type of work: e.g. deep technical, client-facing, collaborative creative].
</context>

<task>
**Run a structured productivity comparison:**
1. Define your productivity metrics: what does output actually mean for this team type?
2. Remote strengths: deep work, reduced commute, async communication, talent pool
3. Hybrid trade-offs: coordination overhead, two-tier culture risk, real estate cost
4. In-office strengths: spontaneous collaboration, onboarding speed, relationship capital
5. Team-specific factors: tenure mix, role types, client expectations, time zones

**Produce a recommendation** with evidence from the comparison and a 90-day trial structure to test it.
