Meeting & Attendance Analytics
Understanding how your board meets, and who attends, is fundamental to governance effectiveness. Preside's meeting analytics provide a comprehensive view of meeting activity across the full board and every committee. Dashboards display meeting frequency trends, average meeting duration, agenda item completion rates, and the ratio of scheduled to actual meetings over configurable time periods. Attendance analytics go deeper than simple headcounts, tracking each director's attendance rate across all meetings, identifying patterns of absence, and calculating average quorum margins. Year-over-year comparisons reveal whether attendance is improving or declining, and committee-level breakdowns highlight whether some committees are experiencing engagement challenges. These insights help governance administrators and board chairs address participation issues proactively, optimize meeting scheduling to accommodate director availability, and provide the attendance data required for annual governance disclosures. For boards with international directors, time zone analysis helps identify scheduling patterns that maximize global participation.
Voting & Resolution Insights
Board decisions are the most consequential outputs of the governance process, and Preside's voting analytics help boards understand their decision-making patterns. The platform tracks voting participation rates by director, meeting, and resolution type, revealing whether all directors are consistently exercising their fiduciary voting responsibilities. Resolution analytics show approval rates, average time from proposal to decision, and the distribution of voting outcomes across resolution categories such as financial approvals, policy changes, officer appointments, and strategic initiatives. Trend analysis identifies whether the board is becoming more or less efficient in its decision-making over time. For boards that use circular resolutions or written consent processes, analytics track response times and completion rates, helping administrators optimize the process for time-sensitive decisions. These insights are valuable for annual governance reviews, enabling boards to demonstrate to stakeholders that decisions are made through structured, participatory processes rather than rubber-stamp approvals. Custom filters allow drilling into specific time periods, committees, or resolution types for focused analysis.
Compliance & Governance Scores
Regulatory compliance is multifaceted, and tracking adherence across multiple frameworks and jurisdictions requires structured reporting. Preside's compliance analytics aggregate data from the platform's compliance checklists, audit trail, and governance activities to provide a real-time view of the organization's regulatory posture. Dashboards show overall compliance completion rates, items approaching deadlines, overdue obligations, and historical compliance trends. Each compliance framework tracked in Preside receives its own score, enabling boards to quickly identify which regulatory areas need attention. The system generates compliance reports aligned with specific frameworks, SOX compliance summaries, UK Corporate Governance Code adherence reports, GCC governance compliance statements, that can be used directly in regulatory filings and annual reports. For organizations operating across multiple jurisdictions, comparative views show compliance levels by region, highlighting areas where local governance requirements may need additional focus. These analytics transform compliance from a checklist exercise into a measurable, improvable governance function.
AI Governance Health Score
The AI Governance Health Score is Preside's flagship analytics capability, a single, dynamic metric that captures the overall health of your board's governance practices. The score is calculated from real platform usage data across multiple weighted dimensions: meeting attendance consistency, document review completion rates, voting participation levels, compliance checklist adherence, evaluation completion, action item follow-through, committee activity levels, and communication responsiveness. Each dimension contributes to the overall score proportionally, and boards can customize the weighting to reflect their governance priorities. The score is displayed prominently on the board dashboard with trend lines showing improvement or decline over time. Critically, the AI does not simply calculate a number, it analyzes the underlying data to generate specific, prioritized recommendations for improving governance effectiveness. These recommendations might include suggestions like increasing the frequency of board evaluations, improving pre-meeting material distribution timelines, or addressing a decline in committee meeting attendance. The Governance Health Score gives boards a quantifiable, reportable measure of governance quality that can be shared with investors, regulators, and other stakeholders.
Custom Reports & Data Export
Every board has unique reporting requirements driven by its regulatory environment, investor expectations, and internal governance standards. Preside's custom reporting engine allows governance teams to build tailored reports by selecting from any combination of available metrics, configuring layouts, and applying filters for date ranges, committees, directors, or activity types. Reports can be saved as templates for recurring use, such as quarterly governance reports for the board, annual compliance summaries for regulators, or monthly committee activity updates for the chair. Scheduled report delivery automates the distribution process, ensuring stakeholders receive governance insights on a regular cadence without manual intervention. All reports can be exported in multiple formats including PDF for formal distribution, Excel for further analysis, and CSV for data integration with external systems. The export functionality extends to raw data, enabling governance teams to incorporate Preside's analytics into annual reports, proxy statements, ESG disclosures, and investor presentations. For organizations with specific data sovereignty requirements, export controls ensure that reports and data comply with applicable data handling policies.
