Burnout Risk Calculator: Quick CSV Workload Insight

Burnout Risk Calculator is a minimalistic tool for developers and teams who already maintain a CSV log of daily work hours. The script reads that log and produces a single, easy‑to‑interpret burnout risk level that reflects recent activity patterns.

How it works
The script expects a CSV with at least two columns: a date column and a work‑hours column. It parses the file, calculates the average hours over the last week, and maps that average to a risk tier (low, medium, high). The output is plain text, making it easy to pipe into other tools or log files.

Who it helps

  • Individuals who want a quick sanity check on whether their recent workload is pushing them toward burnout.
  • Managers who keep a simple CSV of team hours and need a fast, non‑intrusive indicator of overall team health.
  • Anyone who doesn't want a full‑blown analytics stack but still wants a data‑driven sanity check.

Installation and use are straightforward: download the script, point it at your CSV, and run it. No dependencies beyond the standard library.

This is a lightweight, no‑frills solution that fits into existing workflows without adding noise. If you track hours in a CSV, give it a try.
