Granola Metric
Meeting Intelligence
Decision Velocity Tracking measures how quickly decisions are reached within and across meetings, from initial discussion to final commitment. It identifies topics that are decided efficiently versus those that cycle through multiple meetings without resolution, consuming time and delaying progress.

Why decision velocity tracking matters for Granola users
Slow decision-making is one of the most insidious drags on organisational performance. When decisions take three meetings instead of one, each meeting consumes capacity, delays dependent work, and frustrates participants who feel their time is wasted.
For Granola users, decision velocity data reveals patterns - certain topics, teams, or decision types may consistently require more deliberation. This insight enables targeted interventions: clearer decision frameworks, better pre-meeting preparation, or escalation protocols for stuck decisions.
Understand and act on decision velocity tracking with KPI Tree
Extract decision-related discussion points from Granola transcripts in your warehouse. Track decision velocity in KPI Tree and link it to meeting frequency rate and meeting outcome effectiveness.
Assign RACI ownership to leadership and use velocity data to identify decision bottlenecks and implement structured decision-making frameworks.

Meeting Outcome Effectiveness
Meeting IntelligenceMetric Definition
Outcome Effectiveness = Meetings with Tangible Outcomes / Total Meetings × 100
Meeting Outcome Effectiveness measures the proportion of meetings that produce at least one tangible outcome - a decision made, an action item assigned, a problem resolved, or a plan agreed upon. It separates productive meetings from informational sessions and status updates that could be asynchronous.
Action Item Velocity
Meeting IntelligenceMetric Definition
Action Item Velocity = Average(Completion Timestamp − Assignment Timestamp)
Action Item Velocity measures the average time from when an action item is assigned in a Granola-recorded meeting to when it is completed. It reflects the organisation's ability to translate meeting decisions into executed work and is a leading indicator of operational agility.
Meeting Frequency Rate
Meeting IntelligenceMetric Definition
Meeting Frequency Rate = Total Meetings / Time Period
Meeting Frequency Rate measures the number of meetings per person, team, or organisation within a given period. It provides visibility into meeting load and its impact on available focus time. High frequency rates correlate with reduced productivity, particularly for roles that require deep, uninterrupted work.
Meeting Cadence Optimisation
Meeting IntelligenceMetric Definition
Meeting Cadence Optimisation evaluates whether the frequency of recurring meetings matches actual communication needs. It analyses patterns such as short meetings that could be async, cancelled occurrences that suggest over-scheduling, and meeting clusters that fragment focus time.
