Tips for better notes
- Polite, indirect phrasing can soften decisions; read the English decisions and action items and confirm them with the team.
- Check company names and product codes in the notes.
- Use the decision log so agreements are explicit in English.
Notes are written by AI. Check names, figures and dates before you share them outside your team.
