Sales kickoff budgets get built on gut feel and last year's spreadsheet, until Finance asks why the number doubled. This calculator builds a bottom-up SKO budget from the line items that actually drive cost: venue and AV, travel and lodging, food and beverage, content and speaker production, swag, and a contingency buffer. It returns the total spend, cost per attendee, cost per attendee per day, a category breakdown, and a check against typical planning ranges so you can spot an over-scoped budget before contracts are signed.
Enter your attendee count and number of on-site days, then fill in your real (or quoted) unit costs for venue/AV, travel & lodging, food & beverage, content/speaker production, and swag. The tool totals everything, adds your contingency buffer, and shows the total budget, cost per attendee, a category breakdown chart and table, and a check against typical per-attendee-per-day planning ranges. Adjust any field and the numbers update instantly, use it to pressure-test a draft budget or to build one from scratch before you go to Finance.
If AI already grades your people — calls, interviews, tickets, submissions — the odds are nobody has independently checked those scores, and they are deciding who gets coached, hired or managed. Send one item your AI has already graded: a trained assessor marks it blind against your own rubric, then we compare where we agree and where we do not. Free, and you keep the marking either way.
