Workload Reduction Priority Ranker
Three candidate changes ranked by hours returned against how hard they are to get agreed — so the easy one gets done first.
Ranking workload changes by hours saved divided by difficulty consistently puts feedback policy and data collection ahead of meeting length, because the first two return whole hours per teacher per week while the third returns minutes.

Frequently asked
Why divide by difficulty instead of just picking the biggest saving?
Because the biggest saving is usually the one that needs the most agreement, and a workload programme that opens with a fight tends to end there. The quick win buys the credibility to attempt the hard one.
What changes save the most hours in practice?
Workload reviews point repeatedly at three: marking and feedback policy, the number of data collections, and centrally shared planning. Meetings, email and displays are real but an order of magnitude smaller.
Who should use this?
A middle or senior leader with three competing proposals, or a staff group preparing a case. The output is deliberately a ranking rather than a verdict.
