  2. Thirty-six entries at a quarter of an hour each.

9 (answers within ±0.2 count)

Why

9 hours. It is a real cost and worth budgeting rather than pretending. What those nine hours buy is the only record of why decisions were taken, which is the part that evaporates first and cannot be reconstructed afterwards without being reshaped by knowing the outcome.
