Should this be a meeting?
Answer four quick questions and the tool names the single most effective format for your communication — live meeting, email, quick message, or shared doc — with a confidence score. It runs entirely in your browser, collecting nothing.

Run the decision in 30 seconds.
A faithful rebuild of the real tool's logic. Each answer is weighted across four formats — your path genuinely changes the verdict. 48% of employees say their last meeting was unnecessary; here's how to find out before you book the room.

to regain focus after an interruption (UC Irvine)
82% of people report attending meetings that could have been handled through email (Asana). Meeting Or Not turns that gut feeling into a fast, opinionated answer.
A small tool with sharp opinions.
Every feature serves one promise: a calm, honest, 30-second answer to a question teams waste hours debating.
4-question, 30-second quiz
Weighs four dimensions — your goal, the interaction depth needed, the people involved, and urgency — one calm question at a time with Back/Next.
Privacy-first, no signup
No account, no tracking. The decision logic runs entirely in your browser on a single, friction-free page.
Confidence-scored verdict
Answers are weighted across four formats, then tallied to surface the best fit plus a confidence percentage — the tool's signature.
Shareable result
Share to X, copy to clipboard, or start over. Settle the 'do we even need a meeting?' debate with a link.
Evidence-backed rationale
Each verdict carries a short, opinionated reason grounded in cited research on meeting waste — not a vague shrug.
Companion: Meeting Price Tag
Cross-links to a related calculator that quantifies what a meeting actually costs your team in real dollars.
Built lean, ships fast
No framework tax. Just the right tool for a tiny tool.
A single-purpose utility doesn't need a SPA. Meeting Or Not is a WordPress + PHP page with the decision engine written in hand-rolled vanilla JavaScript — zero client dependencies, instant loads, and SEO baked into the markup so the question that brought you here is the question search engines see.
The result is a tool that loads in a blink, works without an account, and ranks for the exact phrase people type when they're staring at a calendar invite.

Before you book the room, ask the tool.
Free, no signup, runs in your browser. Get an honest answer in 30 seconds — and hand your team a link that ends the argument.
