Granola Metric
Meeting Intelligence
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.

Why meeting cadence optimisation matters for Granola users
Many recurring meetings were set up for a reason that no longer exists, yet they persist on calendars because inertia is stronger than intentionality. Over-frequent meetings consume time that could be spent on deep work, while under-frequent meetings cause information gaps.
For Granola users, cadence analysis across all meeting types reveals optimisation opportunities - weekly meetings that could be fortnightly, daily standups that could be replaced by async check-ins, or clustered meetings that could be redistributed to protect focus blocks.
Understand and act on meeting cadence optimisation with KPI Tree
Analyse recurring meeting patterns from Granola in your warehouse. Model cadence metrics in KPI Tree and link them to meeting frequency rate and meeting duration analysis.
Assign RACI ownership to team leads and conduct quarterly cadence reviews, challenging every recurring meeting to justify its frequency.

Related Granola metrics
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 Duration Analysis
Meeting IntelligenceMetric Definition
Meeting Duration Analysis compares actual meeting duration (as recorded by Granola) to scheduled duration, and tracks duration trends across meeting types. It identifies meetings that consistently overrun, those that end early (potentially unnecessarily scheduled), and opportunities to right-size meeting blocks.
Recurring Meeting Efficiency Trends
Meeting IntelligenceMetric Definition
Recurring Meeting Efficiency Trends tracks how the productivity of recurring meetings changes over time, measuring outcome production, duration adherence, attendance stability, and participant engagement across successive occurrences. It reveals whether recurring meetings are improving, stagnating, or degrading.
Meeting Attendance Rate
Meeting IntelligenceMetric Definition
Attendance Rate = Actual Attendees / Invited Participants × 100
Meeting Attendance Rate measures the percentage of invited participants who actually attend a meeting. Low attendance suggests that meetings are perceived as low-value, poorly timed, or include too broad an invite list. High attendance indicates relevance and effective scheduling.
