Make every meeting earn its place

The hidden cost of a meeting is everyone's time. Multiply the people by their pay by the minutes and the number gets real fast, a weekly hour-long sync with eight people can cost more than a new hire's monthly software budget. Use this to decide whether a meeting should be a meeting, trim the invite list, or shorten the slot. Everything is computed in your browser and free forever.
