Public R&D activity log. Hours calculated from actual GitHub commit timestamps. This page is marketing evidence of sustained R&D investment, NOT a billing record. Actual contract billing is done via contemporaneous daily timesheets per DCAA guidance, maintained separately.

Hours reflect actual elapsed time between first and last commit of each session. No imputed minimums. Value = hours × $225/hr published rate.
Methodology
How hours are calculated
Data source: GitHub API — commit timestamps from public repositories under github.com/cochranblock. Machine-verified public record.
Session detection: Consecutive commits within a 2-hour window are grouped into a single work session. Session hours = actual elapsed time between the first and last commit of the session. No imputed minimum. A session with one commit contributes zero hours. A session with commits 12 minutes apart contributes 12 minutes.
31 repositories tracked. Every public repo under github.com/cochranblock. Hours are hours. No multipliers. No adjustments.
Rate context: $225/hour is our published rate card reference, supported by salary-equivalent analysis and market comparables. Actual rates on any specific federal contract are established contractually and may vary.
Context on federal cost accounting: IR&D (Independent Research & Development) is an indirect cost recovered via overhead/G&A pools under FAR 31.205-18 — not billed directly by the hour. Direct labor on federal contracts is recorded via contemporaneous daily timesheets maintained internally and available on audit request. This page is not a substitute for either.
Why publish this at all? Transparency and prior art. Every session shown is a legally notarized timestamp courtesy of git and GitHub. The Timeline of Invention in each repo documents the underlying contributions. Public commit history is prior art per USPTO 35 U.S.C. § 102(a)(1).
