FICTIONAL PRACTICE PACK: Prepare a meeting decision brief
Version: 2026-10-02
Guide: https://www.cihanuygur.com/blog/ai-meeting-decision-brief/

This is an original practice exercise, not model output, a customer case or a measured result. No AI runs on this website. Use an approved tool and fictional data first.

INPUT
FICTIONAL PRACTICE TRANSCRIPT — written for this exercise, not a recording.
Mina: We could launch Friday, if legal approves.
Jo: Legal has not reviewed it yet.
Sam: Decision: keep the current launch date unconfirmed until legal review.
Mina: I will ask who owns legal review. No due date has been agreed.
Jo: I can offer feedback on the copy, but I am not assigned as reviewer.

PROMPT (replace its input placeholder with the fictional input above, or attach the CSV)
Create a decision brief from the transcript below.

Audience: [name the audience].
Use these headings:
1. Decisions explicitly stated
2. Evidence or rationale mentioned
3. Open questions
4. Actions explicitly assigned
5. Statements that need human confirmation

Use only the transcript. Do not infer consensus from silence, tone, or majority sentiment.
Do not turn a proposal into a decision.
Do not invent owners, dates, deadlines, reasons, or next steps.
If a point is ambiguous, quote the relevant short passage and mark it for confirmation.
Keep facts separate from interpretation. Use neutral language.

EXPECTED SHAPE
Decisions / Rationale / Open questions / Assigned actions / Statements needing confirmation.

REVIEW CHECKLIST (illustrative acceptance checks, not a generated answer)
[ ] Friday remains a proposal, not an approved launch date.
[ ] Keeping launch unconfirmed is the stated decision.
[ ] Mina will ask who owns review; she is not the legal approver.
[ ] Jo offered feedback but was not assigned; no due date is invented.

STOP
Stop if a proposal becomes a decision or the transcript is incomplete.
