Use case · Meeting assistant and QBR recap

Leave the QBR
with the recap already written

Briefed from the record before it starts, captured while it runs, checked against the contract as it goes, and written up before anyone has a chance to remember it differently.

  • Briefed an hour before
  • Commitments captured in the room
  • Checked against the signed SOW

AnyCRM. Delivery.

Before

The brief, an hour before, read from the account, not from a folder. Two service levels missed since the last review, Both on the escalation path. Their new operations director joined in March, Has never seen a QBR from you. Open commitment from the last QBR, Reporting change, still not delivered

During

Risk

Weekend cover was agreed in the room and is not in the contract. The SOW scopes weekday coverage on this queue. Saying yes in a QBR without a change note means delivering something unpriced, or retracting it next month in front of a new director. Outside scope.

Your call

Three moves offered: Raise a change note and price the weekend cover; Offer four weekends as a trial, written down; Clarify in the recap that it needs a scope change. The recap does not go out until you pick.

Resolved

    A promise outside the SOW, flagged.

    Orchardline Systems

    Sample

    Weekend cover was agreed in the room and is not in the contract.

    Outside scope

    Agreeing weekend cover on a weekday-scoped queue means delivering something unpriced or retracting it next month. Raise a change note, offer a written trial, or clarify in the recap that it needs a scope change.

  4. 4

    The recap goes out the same day.

    Documents

    Sample
    • QBR recap

      Decisions, owners, dates and the change note

    • Tasks created

      One per commitment, both sides

    Recap sent

    Decisions, owners, dates and the change note, as a document and as an email written and waiting for you to send, with a task created for every commitment on both sides.

The risk beat

When something turns, it tells you and shows you the moves.

Here the turn is: Weekend cover was agreed in the room and is not in the contract. Three moves were offered and a person took one: raise a change note and price the weekend cover.

    Human choice

    Raise a change note and price the weekend cover

    A person presses one. Nothing is sent or written until then.

  5. 5

    Resolution

    Nothing agreed out loud is left undocumented.

    Every commitment from the call is on the account with an owner, and the one that changed the scope is a priced change rather than a favour someone remembers differently.

Where the answers come from

The record you already have.

A quarterly review is a conversation about a record both sides half remember. The record itself already holds the missed service levels, the open commitment and the person who joined in March.

Service level history

What has been met and missed since the last review

The last QBR recap

Including the commitment that was never closed

Contact records

Who is new, who has moved, who has never attended

The output

The pre-read brief

Every line points back at one of these.

The meeting transcript

Decisions and owners, captured as they are said

The signed SOW

What you receive

Documents, not a dashboard.

A recap that goes out the same day with owners and dates on every commitment, and a change note where something agreed out loud sits outside the contract.

Why BPOs need this

What we heard, in their words.

  • The problem

    The recap goes out four days later and half of it is guessed.

    A customer success lead

  • The problem

    We agreed something in a QBR and delivered it free for a year.

    A delivery manager

  • The problem

    Last quarter's commitment surfaced when the client raised it.

    An account director

Questions

The honest answers.

Does it join the call itself?

Yes, and it captures the transcript, the decisions and the owners. The brief that prepares you for it comes from the account an hour before.

How does it know something is out of scope?

It matches the commitment against the signed SOW on the account. A weekday-scoped queue and a weekend promise do not reconcile, and it says so before the recap goes out.

Who sends the recap?

You do. It is written, the tasks are drafted, and nothing reaches the client until a person presses send.

What happens to the expansion signals?

They are captured on the deal as signals with the quote behind them, so the renewal conversation later has them rather than starting from scratch.

The meeting assistant in full: how it briefs from the account, what it captures in the room, and how commitments become tasks and change notes on the record.
