The value of a meeting is almost entirely in what survives it. Most summaries fail because they flatten an hour of conversation into a neutral paragraph, losing the one decision that was actually made and the three that only sounded like decisions. The prompts below separate those. They insist on a named owner and a date for every action, they mark unclear ownership rather than inventing it, and several are written to find what a normal summary hides: the question nobody answered, the person who never got the floor, the agreement that was really just silence. Use them on a transcript, a page of notes, or a meeting you have not yet scheduled.
