Burn Counter
Watch your meeting costs in real-time. Because what gets measured gets managed.
A simple Chrome extension that shows a live dollar counter during your video calls. Not to shame anyone - to inform everyone. When people see the cost of their time together, they make better decisions about how to spend it.
The meeting cost problem
The average employee spends 6+ hours per week in meetings—managers average 16 hours, executives 23. Research shows meeting time costs ~$29,000 per employee annually.
Most of that cost is invisible. Burn Counter makes it visible.
