Meetings — from a 60-minute recording to decisions, owners and dates
The problem
A one-hour meeting, six people, forty minutes of discussion and twenty of circling. Someone volunteers to write it up. Two days later a 900-word summary appears.

Verify before you use it
Human review required. Check every line below before this leaves your screen.
- Read the last section first. The Patel Traders ambiguity is exactly the kind that becomes a dispute in three weeks.
- Check every TENTATIVE marking. Anil's 'main dekhta hoon' is genuinely tentative and marking it firm would be a misrepresentation.
- Confirm no owner was invented. Unowned tasks must appear as open questions, not as actions assigned to whoever spoke last.
- Verify the Hindi quotes are transcribed accurately — mixed-language transcripts are where transcription errors concentrate.
