Calculate async savings
Formula
Annual savings = current annual meeting cost − async replacement annual cost.
Worked example
8 people replacing a 60-minute weekly meeting with a 10-minute async update saves an estimated $34,000 and 320 person-hours per year under the default assumptions.
Common mistakes
- Assuming every meeting can be replaced.
- Ignoring coordination or decision quality.
- Comparing async time without counting every attendee.
FAQ
Does this prove async is always better?
No. It only compares time-cost assumptions. Some meetings are necessary; use the result as a planning estimate.
