A meeting transcript is not a second brain

Transcripts feel complete, which is why they rot. Nobody rereads forty minutes of hedging to find the one date someone actually committed to.

The useful artifact is three lines: the decision, the owner, the next date. If your tool cannot extract that reliably, it is a recorder, not a system.

Wordstack's rule: if you would not paste it into a standup, do not let the model keep it as memory.
