During busy season, prolonged sitting in a cheap, non-ergonomic chair causes severe discomfort, reduced productivity, and potential long-term health issues.

Current solution involves manually tracking sit time in a spreadsheet and calculating cost-per-hour, but no integrated tool suggests the optimal ergonomic chair or setup, nor tracks discomfort patterns to justify investment.
