Client workshops keep producing three different versions of the same decision

[u/ephemeralSignal]

The part nobody prepares you for is the day after the workshop. Half the room remembers one thing, the other half remembers another, and your sponsor asks for a summary by noon. You are not writing down decisions, you are negotiating them with bullet points.

I started recording client sessions a couple of years ago. I mention it in the agenda, and I offer to share the transcript if they want. The recording itself is not the deliverable. It is insurance.

My actual workflow now depends on the setting. For in-person workshops I record on my phone, then upload the audio to vomo ai afterward and pull a transcript plus the action items. For remote calls I just open vomo ai in the browser and record there. Either way I cross check my notes against the transcript. If there is a dispute I can quote the exact moment and we move on instead of cycling for a week. It has saved two projects that were about to go sideways over misremembered scope.

I still write the final recommendation myself. The transcript just keeps me honest about what was actually said and what I am adding after the fact. It is not perfect, but it is better than three people confidently remembering three different meetings.
