Meeting Cost Audit Kit

1. Meeting baseline

2. Keep / cut checklist

• Is there a specific decision to make live?
• Does the meeting have a written agenda?
• Could the same outcome happen in a document or thread?
• Do all invitees need to speak or decide?
• Would a 15–25 minute version work instead?

3. Async replacement plan

4. Manager script

"This meeting costs us approximately __________ per year. I want to test moving it to an async update for four weeks, then compare participation, speed, and decision quality before we decide whether it comes back."
