Framework 156 · in one look
How to use it

Meetings: a written agenda with the decision to be made, only people who decide or do, 30 minutes or less, and within the hour one line per action with an owner and a date. If an update can be written, it isn't a meeting.

How sure we are

P Evidence: promising. Good studies, but small or few. Use it and keep checking.
