How does the skill handle sessions that are too long?

It provides blunt recommendations on exactly which segments to cut, how much time will be saved, and why those specific segments are the best candidates for removal.

What is 'Tim's Time Tax'?

It is a specialized formula that adds realistic overhead to interactive segments: +30% for storytelling, +50% for group exercises, and +25% for Q&A sessions.

What is an Expectation Decay Risk Assessment?

It evaluates the risk of audience dissatisfaction and cognitive fatigue based on session length, lack of breaks, and the absence of follow-up artifacts.

Can I use this to design a session from scratch?

No, this skill is designed specifically to audit and refine existing plans. For initial session design, other specialized architecture skills are recommended.

Productivity & Workflow

Audits workshop and session plans using realistic time estimates and 'time taxes' to ensure agendas fit within allocated windows.

The Training Timing Audit skill provides a rigorous reality check for session plans and runs-of-show, accounting for the often-underestimated 'time tax' inherent in interactive segments and storytelling. By generating a detailed audit table, it identifies segments that are likely to overrun, predicts 'expectation decay' based on cognitive fatigue, and offers blunt, actionable recommendations on what to cut or expand. It is an essential tool for facilitators, trainers, and presenters who need to ensure their content remains impactful without squeezing critical closing moments or exceeding hard stops.
