The recording misses the room decision
Ollie joins a hybrid meeting remotely. Otto summarizes the recording as a decision to keep the old plan, but Dana and Margo changed one part while speaking away from the microphone. Casey receives the summary as the official handoff. The people in the room and the remote team leave with different instructions.
Why it looked good
A recording looks like a shared source of truth. It cannot capture a conversation the microphone did not record.
Q1 · What is this really for?
Is the summary meant to record discussion or provide the agreed instructions for the handoff?
Q2 · Who decides, and did they?
Who owns the final instruction, and have the in-room and remote participants confirmed the same version?
The next move
Ollie marks the uncertain instruction, asks the decision owner to write it in the shared notes, and sends the corrected handoff.
