One thing you could do is use microCOVID to look at how risky various events are when the other person has covid, and use that as a baseline to make adjustments off of. For example:
From there you can make some educated guesses about how much the risk goes down on day N. Microcovid had a blog post a while ago, pre-delta, that has this image:
From what I remember about omicron, the infectiousness window is smaller. Ballparking it, I’ll throw out some numbers and guess that on day 5 maybe you are 20% as infectious, and on day 10 you are 1% as infectious. Which would yield updated numbers of 30, 300 and 7,000 microcovids respectively for the above scenarious on day 5, and then 1.5, 15 and 350 microcovids for day 10.
So that gives you a sense of how much risk you’d be exposing others to in various situations, which can inform your conclusion on the broader question of how long and in what ways you should isolate for.

Outdoors, masked, and ~3 feet away from people for an hour is approximately 150 microcovids.
Indoors and ~6 feet of distance is about 1,500 microcovids.
Indoors, ~3 feet of distance and unmasked is about 35,000 microcovids.
