United We Transform opens free atlas scoring 23,624 meeting agendas

United We Transform has launched a free Atlas and agenda grader that scores published meeting agendas on whether they are designed to drive outcomes, with the group saying most public agendas lack follow-up, ownership or evidence of change. The release also includes a report, rubric and dataset as the organization argues meetings have not kept pace with the way work has changed.

Why it matters: - United We Transform is trying to measure whether meetings are built to produce results, not just fill time. - The project argues that work has changed faster than meetings have, leaving many gatherings without clear ownership, commitments or follow-up. - The free tools are meant to help organizers spot weak agenda design and improve what happens after the meeting ends.

What happened: - United We Transform opened a free Agenda Intelligence Atlas that scores 23,624 published meeting agendas on outcome design. - The organization also released the State of Gatherings 2026 report, the rubric, a correction process for organizers, and the dataset under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0. - The Agenda Grader scores a pasted agenda in about a second in the browser, and United We Transform says nothing pasted into the tool is uploaded. - The launch is centered on unitedwetransform.com.

The details: - Of the 23,624 agendas reviewed, only 57 cleared a score of 50. - No agenda in the set cleared 60. - 21,781 agendas, or 92.2%, showed no visible follow-up signal, with no owner, date or tracking of what was decided. - 45.6% of agendas put participants to work at some point. - Only 7.8% showed any follow-through signal. - Only 5.5% showed any commitment. - Only 1.5% showed evidence that something changed. - 2,854 agendas, or one in eight, were broadcast end to end. - Across 83 agenda records published by the World Economic Forum, the average score was 15.2. - Across 256 CES agendas, the average was 19.5. - SXSW averaged 22.6 across 26 agendas. - The best single agenda among those organizations reached 48. - GES applies a deterministic rubric to visible agenda text across 316,643 agenda blocks. - The system reads the agenda, not the event. - A missing public signal does not prove a practice did not happen. - A strong gathering can still publish a thin agenda. - The corpus is an open-web discovery set, not a probability sample. - Organization figures average every record found on that organization’s own domain. - Human calibration against a stratified 120-agenda sample is underway. - United We Transform says GES is a consistent reading of public evidence, not a validated measure of outcomes. - Brandon Klein, who leads United We Transform, said the meeting itself never got rebuilt even as other tools around work did. - Klein said a room worth the time and money should state what people will do, who owns the next step and how anyone will know it worked.

Between the lines: - The project is making a broader argument about workplace design: the problem is not just bad meetings, but the absence of a clear specification for what meetings are supposed to accomplish. - The release frames AI as having improved information delivery while leaving decision-making, commitment and follow-up largely untouched. - The emphasis on public agendas suggests United We Transform is using visible evidence to pressure organizers, even while acknowledging the limits of what public documents can prove. - The free browser-based grader and open dataset lower the barrier for organizers, researchers and participants to inspect meeting quality.

What's next: - United We Transform says interviews, methodology files, charts, per-organization cuts and images are available on request. - The organization says human calibration of the rubric is still underway. - Organizers can use the correction process and agenda grader to benchmark and revise published agendas.

The bottom line: - United We Transform is betting that if meetings are worth the time, their agendas should show a path to action, ownership and measurable follow-up.
