What it does

Gives anyone an instant ROI read on a single meeting without waiting for the weekly or monthly batch. Triggered from Slack, it takes a meeting name, finds the matching recurring series on the calendar, pulls its recent acceptance rate, checks whether it has a real agenda, and estimates its monthly person-hour cost. It replies in the same thread with a concise verdict and the supporting numbers.

When to use it

Use it in the moment a meeting feels pointless and you want evidence before raising it. Handy in retros, planning, or 1:1s when someone asks should we still have this and you want an answer in seconds rather than a spreadsheet hunt.

How it works

  1. 1A Slack message or slash command with a meeting name triggers the flow.
  2. 2Search Google Calendar for the matching recurring series.
  3. 3Compute its recent acceptance rate, detect agenda presence, and estimate monthly cost.
  4. 4Branch on the combined signals into a keep, shorten, or cancel verdict.
  5. 5Reply in the Slack thread with the verdict and the numbers behind it.
