That’s fair, 4x9 is indeed more the standard these days. On real part-time: I think once it moves below 3 days a week it works better for transactional roles.

That’s fair, 4x9 is indeed more the standard these days. On real part-time: I think once it moves below 3 days a week it works better for transactional roles. E.g. I know dentists that work for a few days per week in a practice, people with 8-16h per week in chat-support, 3-day/wk secretaries, etc. Most of these roles measure their work in calls/appointments/hours rather than longer running projects though. But with the right culture it can be done in IT as well, I think Gumroad is a good example.
