What it does

This workflow turns raw meeting telemetry into a monthly executive brief. It queries calendar attendance and headcount data already landed in Snowflake, totals recurring-meeting overhead by team, surfaces the costliest low-attendance series, and publishes a narrative Coda page leadership can read in two minutes.

When to use it

Use it when meeting data is already centralized in a warehouse and you need a portfolio-level view across many teams — not a single calendar. It answers 'where is our meeting time and money actually going, and what should we cut this month?'

How it works

  1. 1A monthly schedule triggers the rollup.
  2. 2A Snowflake query aggregates recurring-meeting hours, headcount, and attendance by team for the prior month.
  3. 3A logic step ranks teams and series by wasted cost (low attendance times high headcount).
  4. 4OpenAI writes an executive narrative — top offenders, month-over-month trend, and recommended cuts.
  5. 5The brief is published as a Coda page for the leadership review.
  6. 6A short Slack link to the page is posted to the exec channel.
