888 minutes of meeting time linked across the portfolio (14.8 hours). The May 4 weekly sync (16 min Plaud) touched 7 of 8 projects. May 5 added 3 standalone Plaud transcripts (162 + 27 + 31 min) — most weight goes to the morning planning session.

⚠ Mixed-transcript inflation caveat. The May 5 morning session was 162 min total but only ~30 min was project work — the remainder drifted into personal time. The Notion rollup attributes the full 162 min to all 4 linked projects, which over-weights this metric. Treat the table as "meeting time touching this project", not "deep work time."

Caveat on data completeness. Time Spent counts only transcripts with a Duration value. Granola transcripts don't expose Duration cleanly via the connector, so the 13 Apr 20–30 Granola ingestions contribute 0 minutes despite their content density. To filter to "last 30 days" specifically, set a date filter on the rollup column inside Notion's UI.
