Price meetings in money and focus — the attendee-hours × loaded-rate math, the recurring multiplier that turns a weekly 30-minutes into a real annual number, and the cost-vs-outcome read that decides what the price buys. Use when asked what does this meeting cost, price our meeting culture, is this recurring meeting worth it, or make the case for fewer attendees. Produces the cost computation with stated assumptions, the recurring annualization, the cost-per-outcome read, and the reduction levers ranked.

# Meeting Cost Meter Skill

Meetings are the only five-figure purchases made without a price tag: a weekly hour with nine people at a blended $120/hour loaded rate is ~$56,000 a year — a number nobody approved because nobody computed it. The meter computes it (attendee-hours × honest loaded rates × the recurring multiplier), then asks the only question the number exists for: *what does this price buy, and is there a cheaper supplier* — fewer people, shorter slot, lower frequency, or a document. The output is leverage for change, not gotcha theater: the point is better purchases, not shame.

## What This Skill Produces

- **The price** — per instance and annualized, with the rate assumptions stated (loaded, not salary-only, and labeled as estimates)
- **The context-switch surcharge** — the honest note that the calendar cost exceeds the clock cost (fragmentation prices separately — see [context-switch-budget](../context-switch-budget/SKILL.md))
- **The cost-per-outcome read** — what the meeting produces, priced per decision/artifact
- **The reduction levers, ranked** — attendees, length, frequency, format — each with its recomputed price
