Managers cannot distinguish between actual work time and time tracking fraud

Remote team managers have no way to verify that time logged in apps like Toggl, Clockify, or Harvest actually represents focused work versus people leaving the timer running while multitasking, attending to personal tasks, or being away from the desk. Existing solutions only track whether the timer is active, not what the person is actually doing.
