FAQ
Where do these hourly rates come from?
They're fully-loaded estimates (salary × ~1.3 to include benefits + overhead) for typical US tech roles. You can edit any rate to match your situation.
Should we just stop having meetings?
No. Meetings that produce decisions or align people are worth their cost. Status updates that could be a doc usually aren't.
Why annualize recurring meetings?
A weekly 1-hour meeting with 8 people at $120/hr costs ~$50,000 per year. That number tends to motivate trimming the invite list.
