Summary
After every meeting, Brev calculates an effectiveness score out of 100, built from five dimensions — so you can see at a glance whether your meetings are actually driving progress.
Why score meetings?
Most teams have no idea which meetings are productive — they just keep having them. Brev's score gives you a signal: did this meeting move the work forward? Over time the scores reveal patterns — which recurring meetings consistently drive decisions and accountability, and which are quietly wasting time.
The score: 0–100
Every processed meeting gets an overall effectiveness score from 0 to 100, made up of five dimensions:
Goal alignment — how closely the discussion tied to your active goals and OKRs.
Decision velocity — how decisively the meeting moved things forward (decisions made vs. deferred).
Execution throughput — how much concrete progress and how many clear next steps came out of it.
Accountability strength — whether commitments came away with clear owners.
Operating efficiency — how well the meeting used the time it took.
Beyond the number
Alongside the score, Brev surfaces:
Anti-patterns — common meeting failure modes it detected.
A forward-motion assessment — whether the meeting actually advanced the work.
Improvement recommendations — specific ways to make the next one better.
Where to view scores
Open any processed meeting to see its effectiveness score, the five sub-scores, and the recommendations — alongside the summary, chapters, and action items.
Note: Scores are a signal, not a verdict. A low score isn't always bad — some sensitive conversations won't leave transcript evidence of outcomes. Use scores as a trend indicator across your recurring cadences, not an absolute grade on any single meeting.
Meeting Guidance & Anti Patterns
Low goal alignment? Run from the prepped agenda so the conversation stays tied to goals.
Low decision velocity or throughput? End each meeting with an explicit decisions-and-next-steps review.
Low accountability? Make sure every action item leaves with an owner and a due date.
