35%
Above the AI
Exactly thirty-five percent of your week is spent on true gatekeeping and crisis management, meaning more than half of your time is spent on administrative logistics that do not require your specific brain. You are the structural pillar holding up two offices, but much of the scaffolding is manual labor.

15%Gathering slide decks and bios is mostly expensive copy-paste work that awaits a simple automated script.
Taking minutes and tracking action items
15%An audio transcriber can capture the words, but it lacks your political wisdom in phrasing who failed to deliver.

That is a build, not a discipline problem, and it does not need AI expertise in house: Above The AI brings the system, the person keeps the objective, the authority, the evidence and the exception.

Drafted in one pass from what you gave us. A toy, with one serious idea inside: the line is real even when the number is rough. Nothing is stored, and no name appears anywhere, unless you publish your page yourself.
