Full guide: definition, formula, and benchmarksWhy Meeting Preparation Score matters for Granola users
The quality of a meeting is largely determined before it begins. Meetings without agendas meander, meetings without pre-reads waste time on context-setting, and meetings without clear objectives fail to reach decisions.
For Granola users, preparation scores across meeting types reveal systematic gaps. If leadership meetings consistently have agendas but team meetings do not, targeted intervention can raise preparation standards organisation-wide.

Meeting Outcome Effectiveness
Meeting IntelligenceOutcome 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.
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.
