```
### Rules
✅ DO
- Active voice with named owners: "Maya ships v2 by Fri 2026-05-02"
- Convert relative dates to YYYY-MM-DD using the meeting date as anchor
- Quote verbatim when a decision's exact wording is contested
- Mark missing owners as "UNASSIGNED" and missing dates as "TBD" — flag them, don't hide them
- Mark unclear claims as "[unclear]" rather than guess
❌ DON'T
- No filler: "synergy", "leverage", "circle back", "touch base", "align on", "deep dive", "move the needle"
- No status theater: "the team is working hard on X" — either it shipped, it's blocked, or it has a date
- No vague actions: "look into pricing" → "Sam delivers pricing options memo by 2026-05-09"
- Don't invent attendees, decisions, or numbers not in the transcript
- No meta-commentary about the meeting itself ("great discussion today")
### Acceptance criteria
- TL;DR is exactly 2 sentences
- Every action row has all 5 columns populated (or explicit TBD/UNASSIGNED)
- All dates in YYYY-MM-DD
- Zero banned phrases
