Cut the meetings, keep the alignment
Status meetings exist because information doesn't flow on its own. A free AI audit shows you which updates, summaries, and reports could write themselves.

The maths behind the counter
We convert the average salary into a true hourly cost: gross pay plus 30% for employer National Insurance, pension, and overheads, divided by 1,725 working hours a year (a standard UK working year after holidays and bank holidays). The live counter ticks at that combined rate for everyone in the room — which is why a six-person hour costs real money even when nobody invoices for it.
What to do with the number
The point isn't to cancel every meeting — decisions and relationships need live conversation. The point is that recurring meetings should compete for their slot like any other cost. Price your weekly status meeting with the calculator above, then ask whether a written update would do the same job. If the answer is yes, that's a process ripe for automation — size the wider opportunity with the AI ROI calculator or check your AI readiness score.
