A timing audit calculates realistic durations by applying a time tax to interactive segments like storytelling and Q&A. It identifies segments exceeding allocated limits and recommends specific content to cut or expand, ensuring your run-of-show adheres to hard stop times and protects critical opening hooks and closings.

Session plans run over because presenters consistently underestimate the time required for interactive and storytelling segments. Applying a realistic time tax to activities like group exercises and Q&A adjusts planned durations to reflect actual constraints, preventing your presentation from exceeding the hard stop time.

The best way to calculate realistic time estimates is to apply a time tax to various activity types. This adjusts planned durations for storytelling, group exercises, and Q&A, producing a timing audit report that clearly compares planned versus realistic times with OK, OVER, or UNDER verdicts.

Yes, protecting critical segments like opening hooks and closings is a core function of the timing audit. When segments exceed allocated time, the audit recommends specific content to cut or expand, ensuring these critical elements remain intact while adhering to the hard stop time.

To determine what content to cut, generate a timing audit report that highlights segments exceeding their allocated time with an OVER verdict. The audit provides actionable recommendations on exactly what to cut or expand and why, ensuring your session fits within realistic time constraints.
