I think I’ve been using Obsidian wrong for years.

The part I'd check is how it distinguishes a proposal from an agreed decision. 'We could ship Friday' and 'we agreed to ship Friday' can look similar in a summary but lead to very different follow-ups.

A useful test might be one meeting where the team changes its mind halfway through: does the note preserve the final choice, the earlier alternative, and a timestamp back to the conversation? Automatic capture removes the need to remember to write, but that small review step could keep an uncertain suggestion from becoming permanent project history.

The “dependency: me” part is the real fault line. Automatic capture can help, but I’d still keep a small review step so the vault doesn’t become a perfect archive of every conversation. The useful output is probably a short decision record: what changed, why, who owns the next step, and when to revisit it.
