Yes I see your point.  Maybe it's too ambitious to determine productivity.  But knowing how much time is spent on the interruption (taskerruption) would be a good start.

Seems to me the danger of interruptions is not how much time they take
up, but how much time it takes you to recover from them, and get back to
work. Much harder to clock!
