Make calls count
For teams whose week runs on meetings.
- What every meeting and recurring series costs, planned and recorded
- Who needs to attend live, with a reason the organizer can act on
- Focus days and interruptions per team
Know what every meeting costs. Change the ones that aren’t worth it.
Quorum prices every meeting from your calendar and attendance data and suggests who needs to attend live. For work that happens in writing, it shows where chat threads and code reviews wait for a reply, and how much of each team’s week is left for focused work.
No bot joins your calls. No message text is stored. No one is scored as an individual.

Built for meeting-heavy and async-first teams alike.
Remote, hybrid and multi-office teams work in calls and in writing. Quorum measures both, each on its own basis, and never adds one to the other.
Keep chats moving
For async-first teams that work in writing.
- Threads that have cost more than a short call would
- Time to a first reply per team, channel and repository
- Response-time agreements, with reminders that name conversations, never people
Also in Quorum
Meeting Reset
Put recurring meetings up for renewal, and give each costly series an owner and a step-by-step guide.
Meeting budgets
A monthly allowance per team, in hours or money, tracked against what the calendar booked.
My week
Each person sees their own calendar figures. Nobody else does, including their manager.
In Outlook and Google Calendar
Add-ons show the cost of the meeting you open and your own attendance suggestion, and change nothing.
Set up once. Nobody changes how they work.
Connect your sources
An administrator connects your meetings (Microsoft 365, Google Workspace or Zoom), the tools your team writes in (Slack, Microsoft Teams, GitHub, GitLab, Jira or Linear), or both. Calendars are read, never written.
Set your cost bands
Finance enters four or five loaded hourly rates. They are the only input that turns hours into money, and nothing is read from payroll.
Review and decide
The overview puts the costliest meetings and threads first. Organizers get suggestions in Slack and make every calendar change themselves; Quorum records what they decided.
What do meetings and threads cost you?
Set the sliders to your company. Meetings are priced from time on the calendar; chat and code-review threads are modeled from message volume. The two are never added together.
Your company
Meetings
Priced from time on the calendar: people × meetings × length × the loaded rate. In a workspace, measured from calendars and attendance reports.
$382,500
a week in meetings for 500 people
$19,890,000
a year, over 52 weeks
Threads
Modeled from message volume: 3 minutes to write each message and 30 seconds for each other person to read it. Never from what anyone wrote.
Slack threads and pull-request or issue conversations.
$46,750 a week of reading and writing time across 300 threads, modeled from message volume.
- One thread: 20 messages, 6 people
- $156
- A 30-minute call with the same 6 people
- $262
At this size the call becomes the cheaper option after 34 messages. Past that point, Quorum can propose one for a thread that is still open.
The two figures sit side by side and are never added together: meeting cost is time booked on a calendar, thread cost is a model of reading and writing time.
78% of employees say they are expected to attend so many meetings that it is hard to get their own work done (Atlassian, 2024). The average worker is interrupted every 2 minutes by a meeting, an email or a chat message (Microsoft Work Trend Index, 2023).
How it plays out at four companies
Example companies. Their names and stories are invented to show how Quorum works; every figure was computed by Quorum on a workspace modelled on them.

Built for security reviews and works councils.
Quorum measures teams, never individuals, and publishes exactly how.
No bot in your calls
Attendance comes from the reports Teams, Meet and Zoom already keep. Transcripts stay off until an administrator turns them on.
No message text kept
Threads and reviews are counted and timed. What anyone wrote is discarded on arrival.
Team figures need a team
The floors are published: no per-person figure for a group under 3 people, no response time over fewer than 5 conversations, no pulse result before 5 answers.
Each person’s week is theirs
Everyone can see their own calendar figures. Nobody else can, including their manager.
Start with an audit, then choose a plan.

Common questions
What counts as “meeting cost”?
Attended hours times each person's loaded hourly rate, from your own cost bands. We also show a fully-loaded view that adds organizer prep and follow-up time. The math is fixed arithmetic — AI never touches it — and anything we cannot measure is shown as unknown, never as zero. How Quorum measures sets out every rule and threshold.
Can we start with chat and code review before connecting a calendar?
Yes. Start from Slack and GitHub to see estimates for long threads and time to first response per team, repository and channel. Quorum flags eligible open threads whose estimated cost passes that of a short call; your team decides what to do. Add a calendar when you want meeting cost and focus figures alongside them. The two cost models are never added together. How Quorum measures explains the assumptions.
Does Quorum read our Slack messages or pull-request comments?
No. Quorum keeps counts and timestamps: how many messages, how many people, when a conversation began waiting and when someone first answered. Message and comment text is never stored, nobody’s messages are counted individually, and response times are reported per team, repository or channel — never per person.
Is this employee surveillance?
Quorum supports communication decisions and workload planning. Admins and authorized managers can see calendar commitments and factual participation within their scope. It provides no employee performance score or ranking, and excludes Meet-derived attendance from named person analytics. Conversation and response figures describe teams, repositories and channels, never individual communication performance.
How long until we see something useful?
After connecting a calendar, allow about 24 hours of sync for a first baseline of meeting time, cost and recurring series to review. Slack and GitHub figures build from conversations that happen after connection. You can start with either source; transcripts are not required.
How is Quorum different from other meeting-analytics tools?
Pricing meetings is where Quorum starts. It also measures written work — thread cost and response times across Slack, Teams channels, GitHub, GitLab, Jira and Linear — and follows a costly series through to a change: an owner, a guide, a confirmation, then recorded cost before and after. It runs on Google Workspace and Microsoft 365, publishes its privacy floors, and can begin with a calendar audit of your recent meetings.
