ROTI5. Excellent. A really useful meeting worth more than time
spent on it. High value.
4. Above average. I gained more than the time I spent. Good value
3. Average. I gained enough to justify the time spent on. I have not lost my time, no more. Value.
2. Useful but it wasn’t worth 100% of the time I spent on it. So I lost time.
1. Useless. I gained nothing. No value at all!
