When a Meeting is Approaching (trigger: calendar check or user request)

Structured Capture Template

• When asked to take notes during or right after a meeting:
• # Meeting Notes: [Title]
• **Date:** [YYYY-MM-DD] **Time:** [HH:MM] **Duration:** [actual]
• **Attendees:** [who was actually there — note no-shows]
• **Type:** [category]
• ## Key Discussion Points
• 1. [Topic] — [summary of discussion, who said what]
• 2. [Topic] — [summary]
• ## Decisions Made
• | # | Decision | Made by | Rationale |
• |---|----------|---------|-----------|
• | 1 | [what was decided] | [who] | [why] |
• ## Action Items
• | # | Action | Owner | Deadline | Priority |
• |---|--------|-------|----------|----------|
• | 1 | [task] | [name] | [date] | 🔴/🟡/🟢 |
• ## Open Questions / Parking Lot
• [question or deferred topic]
• ## Key Quotes (verbatim when important)
• "[exact words]" — [Speaker]
• ## Sentiment / Energy Read
• [Brief note on meeting tone — was it productive? tense? aligned?]
• ## Follow-Up Required
• [ ] Send summary to attendees
• [ ] Update [system/doc] with decisions
• [ ] Schedule follow-up meeting (if needed)

Smart Capture Rules

Attribute statements to speakers when possible Distinguish between opinions, decisions, and action items Flag disagreements — note both sides Capture exact numbers, dates, commitments (these get misremembered) Note what was NOT discussed that should have been

Immediate (within 30 minutes)

Auto-generate meeting summary email: Subject: Meeting Summary: [Title] — [Date] Hi [attendees], Thanks for the productive session. Here's what we covered: **Decisions:** [bullet list] **Action Items:** [table: what | who | by when] **Next Meeting:** [date/time if scheduled] Let me know if I missed anything. [signature] Quality checklist for summaries: Every action item has an owner AND deadline Decisions are stated as facts, not "we discussed" No jargon unexplained for external attendees Tone matches relationship (formal for clients, casual for team)

Follow-Up Tracking

Track all action items in a running log: { "meeting_id": "2026-02-13-client-review", "actions": [ { "item": "Send revised proposal", "owner": "Kalin", "deadline": "2026-02-15", "status": "pending", "reminded": false } ] } Reminder cadence: 24 hours before deadline → gentle reminder On deadline day → status check 48 hours overdue → escalation flag

Follow-Up Sequences by Meeting Type

After Sales Meeting: Same day: Summary email + any promised materials Day 2: "Thinking about what you mentioned about [specific pain]..." Day 5: Relevant case study or resource Day 10: "Any questions? Happy to jump on a quick call" After Interview: Same day: Thank you + timeline for decision Internal: Scorecard completed within 24 hours Decision deadline: Force a hire/no-hire call After Strategy Meeting: Same day: Notes + decisions distributed Day 3: Check on action item progress Before next meeting: Pre-meeting status update

Contact Cards

Maintain a relationship file per key contact: name: "Jane Smith" company: "Acme Corp" role: "VP Engineering" first_met: "2026-01-15" meetings_count: 4 communication_style: "Data-driven, prefers email, gets straight to business" personal_notes: - Has twin daughters starting university this year - Marathon runner — ran Boston 2025 - Vegetarian (for restaurant picks) topics_of_interest: - Platform migration - Team scaling - AI/ML integration last_interaction: "2026-02-10" open_threads: - "Waiting on their security review" - "Interested in Phase 2 proposal" sentiment_trend: "positive — increasingly engaged"

Before Each Meeting: Auto-Pull

Pull contact cards for all attendees Surface open threads and last interaction Flag if it's been >30 days since contact (relationship at risk)

Score Every Meeting (Post-Meeting)

• Meeting ROI Score: [1-10]
• Criteria:
• Decisions made: [0-3 points] (0=none, 1=minor, 2=significant, 3=critical)
• Actions generated: [0-2 points] (0=none, 1=some, 2=clear+owned)
• Could've been async: [0-2 points] (0=definitely, 1=maybe, 2=needed live)
• Right people present: [0-1 point]
• Stayed on time: [0-1 point]
• Energy/morale impact: [0-1 point]

Weekly Meeting Audit

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📊 WEEKLY MEETING AUDIT ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Total meetings: [X] Total hours: [X] Average ROI score: [X]/10 🟢 High-value (8+): [list] 🟡 Medium (5-7): [list — consider shortening] 🔴 Low-value (<5): [list — consider eliminating or making async] Recommendation: [specific meetings to cut, combine, or restructure] Time recoverable: [X hours/week] ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Meeting Hygiene Rules

No agenda = decline or request one No clear objective = ask "what decision are we making?" 6 attendees = likely too many (suggest trimming) Recurring with no changes = suggest async update instead Back-to-back meetings = flag for buffer time

Cancellation Template (when meeting isn't justified)

Hi [name], I'd like to suggest we handle [topic] async this week — I can send a written update covering [specific items] which might save us both 30 minutes. Happy to keep the meeting if you'd prefer live discussion. Let me know.

Declining Meeting Invites (when appropriate)

Thanks for the invite. A couple quick questions: 1. What decision or outcome are we aiming for? 2. Is there a pre-read I should review? 3. Could I contribute async instead? Want to make sure I'm adding value if I join.

Edge Cases

No-shows: Note them. If recurring, flag the pattern. Meeting hijacked: Note original agenda vs actual discussion. Flag for next time. Confidential meetings: Mark notes as CONFIDENTIAL — don't include in weekly audit details. Multi-timezone: Always show times in all attendees' timezones in briefs. Recurring meeting fatigue: If ROI score drops below 5 for 3 consecutive weeks, suggest restructuring. Last-minute meetings: Abbreviated prep — focus on attendee intel and one key question only. Walking into someone else's meeting: Quick context mode — "What do I need to know in 60 seconds?"
