Thanks we'll definitely take a look. The range of prices on solutions in this space is incredibly wide.

There's simple things for crazy cheap, complicated things with giant price tags, all intertwined in a brand new land-grab to get adoption.

The founder of Superhuman.com recently introduced us to the Van Westendorp Price Sensitivity Meter, and recommended we also check out the book 'Monetizing Innovation' -- more to learn!

This was from a survey by The Adecco Group, where they asked 8000 people from eight countries, but we've seen similar stats across several surveys.

Love the user name, BTW. :-)

We've been paying particular attention to California, since minimum workplace contact tracing standards and workplace COVID exposure notification were signed into law with AB-685 and SB-1159.

The other part is getting people to do all the things needed. Mostly that's making it easy to do, which is where this kind of put-it-on autopilot approach to set an office schedule helps, and making it really easy to go into the office for a day.

It's not machine learning and sensors to make sure people are wearing a mask and staying 6 feet apart, but it does meet the bar for most companies.

Booking a desk for multiple days is definitely something we've been thinking about, and we built it into the product for the same reasons you're saying.

Our workspaces are pretty personal. If you come into work, the chair is at the wrong height, monitors wrong, and you don't have what you need, it doesn't work.

But if you know you can have the same desk for the next 2 weeks on the days you want to come in, it can work. Losing the reservation or a penalty could be an interesting addition too -- we'll keep it in mind.
