What this is, in plain language

This is a picture of the meetings in your own calendar. Each circle is a person you shared a meeting with. A line between two people means they sat in at least one of your meetings together. Thicker lines mean more time.

This is a mirror, not a scoreboard. It is here to help you think about your own collaboration patterns — whether the people you spend time with are the people you meant to spend time with. It says nothing about how well anyone works, how productive anyone is, or how valuable anyone is. It is not a performance measure and must not be used as one.

The two views

With me in it — everyone you met, all connected through you. You will always look central here. That is not a discovery; it is simply because the data came from your calendar and you were in every meeting by definition.

Without me — you are taken out, so the picture shows which of your contacts also meet each other. This is the more interesting view: it shows whether your world is one connected group or several separate ones that only you move between.

What the picture shows

Circle size — how much scheduled time you share with that person, or one of the other options in the panel on the left.
Colour — which meeting group someone belongs to. Groups are worked out from who tends to be in the same meetings, so they usually correspond to projects or teams.
Distance — people who share many meetings are drawn near each other. Position on the screen has no other meaning; there is no top or bottom.
Turns up across separate meetings — one of the size options. It highlights people who appear in meetings that otherwise share nobody. That is a description of your calendar, not a judgement about them.

Click any person

The panel on the right shows only your relationship with them: how many meetings you share, how many hours, which meetings those are, and who else is usually in the room. Click the same person again to close it.

Questions this is good for

Am I spending time with the people my work actually depends on?
Is there someone important I have barely seen this month?
Do I only ever meet this person in a crowded room?
Are the groups in my calendar ones I meant to be part of?
Is my time spread the way I would have guessed before looking?

What it cannot tell you

It only sees scheduled meetings. Chat, email, corridor conversations and unplanned calls are invisible. Much real collaboration never reaches a calendar.
An invitation is not attendance. The export does not record who actually turned up, or who was listening.
Links between other people are only visible when you were there. Two of your contacts may meet constantly without you and appear unconnected here. A missing line means nothing at all.
Large events were left out, because sitting in the same all-hands as three hundred people is not a working relationship.
Time is not value. A single short conversation can matter more than a standing weekly meeting.

Please do not make decisions from this alone. The underlying data was prepared automatically, and automated processing — including AI — makes mistakes: names can be merged or missed, meetings can be misread, and the window shown may not be the one you have in mind. If something here looks surprising or important, go back to your actual calendar and check it directly before acting on it, and talk to the people involved. Treat anything you see as a question to look into, never as a conclusion.
