GranolaMeeting IntelligenceMeeting Frequency Rate
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.

Why Meeting Frequency Rate matters for Granola users
Meeting overload is one of the most frequently cited productivity complaints in modern organisations. When a team member spends 30+ hours per week in meetings, there is virtually no time left for the actual work those meetings are meant to coordinate.
For Granola users, frequency data across teams and roles reveals where meeting culture has become unsustainable. It provides the evidence needed for meeting-free days, meeting budget policies, and other structural interventions.

Meeting Cadence Optimisation
Meeting IntelligenceMeeting 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.
View metricMeeting Duration Analysis
Meeting IntelligenceMeeting 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.
View metricMeeting ROI Analysis
Meeting IntelligenceMeeting ROI Analysis quantifies the return on investment of meetings by comparing the value of outcomes produced - decisions enabling revenue, problems resolved, projects unblocked - against the opportunity cost of participant time. It treats meetings as an investment that should produce measurable returns.
View metricMeeting Attendance Rate
Meeting IntelligenceAttendance 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.
