SYSTEM: Euroburn
LIVEWhy I Built This
Every weekly sync, every alignment meeting, every "quick check-in" has a price tag. Most organizations have no idea what that price is. This clock shows it, in euros, in real time, while you watch. The items you could have bought instead are the editorial.
Background
A 10-person meeting with senior engineers costs roughly €200–500/hour. A Monday all-hands with 50 people can burn €5,000 before anyone opens a laptop. None of this shows up on any dashboard. It is invisible cost, normalized by culture, protected by hierarchy.
Euroburn does not stop meetings. It just makes the cost visible, in real time, in euros, expressed in terms of things you could actually buy. The tool is intentionally provocative — the absurdist items list is the editorial.
