Comments

We kept hitting the same argument at work: someone says a recurring meeting is expensive, someone else says prove it, and nobody has a number. So we built the receipt. The Meeting Tax Calculator turns headcount, salaries and cadence into an annualised cost with an itemised breakdown, no signup and no email gate. The salary pages and the Burnout Index came from the same instinct, and every dataset ships as open JSON so people can check the math instead of taking our word for it.
