"Noteleaf is great, but it can’t tell you why you’re meeting somebody or whether it’s a poor use of your time."

This is somewhat orthogonal to the meaning of the conclusion, but maybe they could track that somehow. Add some kind of "why" description when you create a meeting and then afterwards allow you to rate it on usefulness?

One of the cofounders of Noteleaf here:

Perhaps, but one thing we've found as a rule is that people don't want to do work in order to gain something. Only a small percentage of would likely want to write something in a why description and rate it thereafter.

Now if there was something to be gained by the user, like a shot of happiness, bragging rights, increase social capital, then they'd be willing to rate their meetings.

But for the time being, we don't have anything that would be compelling enough for people to do that.

How about rewarding them with a coupon? Only half joking.
