Why it matters

Meeting overload is expensive.

The numbers the tool quietly argues against, every time someone reaches for a calendar invite.

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.

Under the hood

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.
