Summarizing supplied meeting notes
The supplied notes are the complete source and the summary is easy to compare. Expected disposition: Proceed.
Task boundary
Summarizing supplied meeting notes is assessed as a specific task and workflow, not as a general endorsement of AI for the surrounding job. The supplied notes are the complete source and the summary is easy to compare.
Assumptions
- The selected notes are the complete source for the summary.
- Participants were allowed to place the notes in the chosen environment.
- A participant or meeting owner can compare the summary with the notes before sharing it.
Decision
- Disposition: Proceed
- Pattern: Prompt with context
- Inherent risk: low
Rules that drive the decision
- A bounded supplied source favors prompt-with-context rather than model memory or broad retrieval.
- The output remains a draft because omissions can change ownership, deadlines, or decisions.
Why alternatives were rejected
- A direct prompt lacks the notes.
- Retrieval may expose or mix unrelated material.
Controls
- Ask for separate decisions, action items, owners, deadlines, and unresolved questions.
- Require the model to label unclear ownership or dates instead of guessing.
Acceptance threshold
These are example starting thresholds for a bounded pilot of this workflow, not universal benchmarks. For summarizing supplied meeting notes, the accountable owner should make them stricter when the task, consequence, or policy requires it.
- On 15 meetings, every recorded decision and assigned action appears with the correct owner and date.
- The workflow adds no attendee, commitment, or decision absent from the supplied notes.
Reassess when
- The summary must combine recordings, chats, or documents outside the supplied notes.
- Notes contain a more sensitive data class or the summary will be sent externally.
