The layout
1
Choose a client, see who they are
Clients is a browse-and-pick panel with Connected, Workspaces and All
tabs, a search box, and a status badge on each client. Manage clients jumps to the
Clients page, and picking a client sets it as the client you’re working with across
the app while keeping you on Meeting Prep. New client opens the same
Create New Client wizard used on the Clients page, so you
can add a client without leaving Meeting Prep. Once you pick an active client, a
See profile button appears on its row and opens the business details on file.
Meeting Prep Briefs, your organisation’s past briefs, sits beside the panel: the
Notes column starts hidden (View brings it back), and selecting a row opens its
report, or the recorded note while the report is still pending.

Choose the kind of brief
Meeting Preparation Brief sits underneath. It opens with two large
cards, Initial meeting and Market sync; select the one that matches the
conversation you are walking into. Each card names the brief’s mode (Discovery or
Analysis) and says in one sentence how that brief reads.

Write a note, then generate
Add anything the brief should know about why you are meeting, in Notes for this
meeting, then select Generate Meeting Brief. A blank note is fine: the brief is
composed in full from the client’s profile and research either way.
Choosing the kind of brief
Two kinds are available today:
Switching kind never touches your note, so you can change your mind mid-sentence.
Writing the note
Your note is not filed away and forgotten; it is handed to the brief alongside the client’s profile and the company research. It is the one part that says why you are walking into the room, so be specific about who you are meeting, what you want to find out, and what a good outcome looks like.Notes are capped at 100 words. A live counter sits under the field and Generate
Meeting Brief stays disabled past the limit. The cap is deliberate: past a hundred
words a note stops being your intent and starts being background the brief has to
summarise back to you.
After you generate
A confirmation stays on screen for about twenty seconds: “Your brief is being composed. You’ll be notified when it’s ready; follow it in Notifications.” The brief composes in the background; Dashboard → Notifications announces it when it is ready, and it appears in the table below with View report.Meeting Prep Briefs
Meeting Prep Briefs, the full-width table under the form, lists your firm’s most recent briefs, the latest 30: the client, the kind, the author, when it was recorded, and the note. Open a row to read a longer preview of the note in place (the first 240 characters), search within that window, and use the row’s menu for View report (the brief) or View note, which loads the complete note. An older brief stays reachable from its Ready notification and from the client’s page. It is a shared memory across your firm: anyone in your advisor organisation can see what was prepared last time.Meeting Prep works with connected clients and workspaces alike; for a pending client you
can still select them and prepare. The company and market research the brief draws on is
read on the client’s page and from the brief itself, see Research.
