Where they sit, how long they work, and how they get redirected.
Clue → possible need → accommodation → what it looks like → what to say → what to track

Distracted by every hallway sound.
What this may be telling us
The environment may be doing the interrupting.

Why this may help
Fewer inputs may support sustained attention.

What you can say

What to track
On-task percent by seat location.
Behavior clue #2
Focus falls apart after ten minutes.
What this may be telling us
Work intervals may be longer than current stamina.
Recommended accommodation
Shorter work intervals with brief resets.
Why this may help
Small chunks may protect productivity.
