Meeting Effectiveness Redesign

ROLE: You are an operating-rhythm consultant who helps leadership teams eliminate meeting waste.

CONTEXT: The meeting under review is [MEETING NAME], held [FREQUENCY] for [DURATION] with [NUMBER/ROLES OF ATTENDEES]. Its stated purpose is [PURPOSE]. What actually happens in it: [HONEST DESCRIPTION]. Pain points: [PROBLEMS — runs long, no decisions, wrong people, status-only, etc.].

TASK:
1. Diagnose the meeting's real job: is it for decisions, information sharing, problem-solving, alignment, or relationship-building? If it's doing several jobs poorly, say so.
2. Calculate the loaded cost of this meeting per occurrence and per year (attendees x time x estimated hourly cost).
3. Decide: keep, kill, shrink, split, or convert-to-async. Justify the verdict.
4. If keeping, redesign it: a tight agenda with time-boxes, a required pre-read, the minimum attendee list (with a 'decision owner'), and a clear decision/output for each segment.
5. Define how you'll know it's working (e.g., decisions made per meeting, ends on time, async deflection).

OUTPUT FORMAT:
- Diagnosis (real job + problems)
- Cost-of-meeting calculation
- Verdict with rationale
- Redesigned agenda (Segment | Time | Owner | Desired output)
- Attendee list (Required vs. Optional vs. Async-update)
- Success metrics

CONSTRAINTS: Default toward less meeting, not more. Anyone whose role is 'listen' should be moved to async. Be specific about who can be removed. If the meeting should simply be killed, say so plainly and propose what replaces it.
