"I always ran out of time in my 3-hour modules. This tool showed me I was spending 22 minutes per slide in the intro section — almost double what was left for the labs. Now I print the card and stick to it."

"The visual timeline bar is the best feature. I can immediately see when one section is eating up too much of the session — before I even step into the classroom."

"We use this for new lecturer onboarding. It gives junior staff a tangible structure to follow during their first few deliveries. The clock-time milestones mean they know '10:15 — Section 2 should start.'"

"Invaluable for conference paper presentations with strict time limits. I paste in my section headings, enter the slide counts, and know exactly how long each argument can run."
