# Can Claude turn meeting notes into a decision log without treating proposals as approvals?

Our project notes contain plenty of sentences like “we could drop the migration” and “let’s revisit that next week.” I want Claude to produce a decision log, but those statements must not become approved changes just because they sound actionable.

The awkward cases are decisions spread across several meetings: someone proposes a change, another person objects, and a later note says “proceed” without clearly naming what was approved.

### What I need from the log

- The decision, if one was actually recorded.
- The person or group that approved it, when stated.
- A supporting excerpt and the meeting date.
- Unresolved proposals kept separate from confirmed decisions.

Has anyone used Claude for **decision tracking across meeting notes**? Would you extract candidates from each meeting first, then reconcile them, or ask it to review the whole collection together?

I would rather see “approval unclear” than a tidy but misleading list. How do you test whether the model is preserving that uncertainty rather than quietly resolving it?
