Here are my notes from a meeting:

pricing call tues - sam thinks we're too cheap for enterprise, priya disagrees, churn data doesn't back it up. agreed to hold current price til Q1. someone needs to pull the last 6 months of churn by tier. sam mentioned the reseller thing again, no one followed up. renewal deadline mar 14 either way

Who reads this: my manager and the two other team leads, none of them were there
Why they're reading: people need to go and do things

Turn it into a memo. Use this shape:

- One line at the top: what this is about, and what happens next.
- Decided. Bullets. Only things that were actually settled.
- Still open. Bullets. Anything raised and left hanging goes here, never in Decided.
- Actions, as a table: who, what, by when.

Rules:
- If an action has no owner or no date in my notes, list it anyway and write "no owner" or "no date" in the cell. Leave the gap showing. Don't fill it in for me.
- Cut anything that was said but doesn't change what anyone does.
- Under 300 words.

At the end, list anything from my notes you couldn't place, so I can tell you what it was.

What you get: A memo under 300 words: what got decided, what didn't, and a who-does-what table with the holes left visible.

Leave the gaps showing

The instruction that matters is the one about "no owner" and "no date". Ask for a tidy action table and you'll get one, with plausible names and dates that nobody in the room ever agreed to. Those quietly become real, and then someone misses a deadline they never knew they had.

The Decided and Still open split does the other half of the work. Most meetings feel more conclusive than they were.
