The meetings where the record decides
Donna isn’t for every meeting — she’s for the ones where what was actually said, decided, and dodged will matter later. Start where the stakes are.
Sales calls
Every sales recap says the same thing: “good call, they’ll get back to us.” The deal died three sentences before that, when the champion went quiet after the pricing slide and nobody logged it.
Client meetings
Client relationships run on remembered conversations — and the client’s memory always favors the client.
Team standups
Standups generate the least-read documents in software: recap threads nobody opens.
One-on-ones
A one-on-one is where the real organization talks: career doubts, comp questions, honest feedback about a peer.
Board & leadership meetings
Nobody in a board meeting is a neutral note-taker — least of all the person taking the notes.
User research interviews
Users are polite.
Hiring interviews
Interview debriefs run on the interviewer’s memory, which is to say on first impressions wearing a lab coat.
Agency–client calls
Agency work converts conversations into invoices: the feedback round that grew, the “tiny tweak” that was a redesign, the approval given at 0:43:12 and disputed at invoice time.
Project kickoffs
Post-mortems have a genre convention: the root cause was visible at kickoff.
Negotiations & vendor calls
Negotiations are memory contests.
