# Reading a meeting-prep brief
> What's in a generated brief, section by section, and how to export it.
Once you record prep for a client, AI Ready writes a **meeting-prep brief** from your note,
the client's profile, and the public research on file. It opens as a document you can read
top to bottom, with a **section rail** (**On this page**) to jump around.
A brief only contains the sections the research produced, so not every brief has all of
these.
## If you're reading it an hour before the meeting
Read these four, in this order, and you're ready:
**Start here, not at the top.** This is where the research disagreed with how you
framed the meeting: your framing beside what it actually found, marked **Followed your
framing**, **Followed the research**, or **Unresolved**. It's the section most likely
to change your plan, so read it while you can still change it.
What's moved since you last spoke, dated and grouped as **Threats**, **Watch**,
**Opportunities**, and **Updates**. This is your "I saw that you…" opener, and the
fastest way to sound like you've been paying attention.
Take two or three into the room. Expand **Why ask this** on any of them to see what
it's designed to surface, so you can tell whether the answer you got was the real one.
Know your ask before you walk in. The highlighted **Quick Assessment** step links
straight through, **Start their Quick Assessment**, so you can act on it in the
meeting rather than promising a follow-up; its report is the entry point to the
Full Assessment.
## The rest, and when you'd want it
| You need to | Read |
| ------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Sanity-check what the brief thinks you asked for | **Advisor note**, showing **Your ask** and **Reliability** |
| Get the shape of the business fast | **The client** tiles: **Founded**, **Headcount**, **Revenue (AUD)**, **Knowledge workers** |
| Talk credibly about what they actually sell | **What they do** and **What they sell**, each offering with what it **Solves** |
| Understand who they're selling to | **Who they sell to**, with a figures chart where numbers were found |
| Place them against competitors | **Positioning**, a labelled 3×3 market map beside a numbered legend: the client sits in its cell as a chip, each competitor group as its numbered ring |
| Learn an unfamiliar industry fast | **How the industry works** (initial meetings only): a plain-language primer with **Structure**, **Norm**, and **Red flag** points |
| Build a case or prep an objection | **SWOT**, each point carrying why it matters |
If the masthead says *"Requires human review before it is relied on or shared."*, treat
the brief as a draft. Check anything you intend to say out loud before you say it, and
don't forward it to the client.
The brief closes with the date the information was current, and a disclaimer that it is
AI-composed general information, not professional advice: verify anything you intend to
rely on before acting on it. **How this brief was
put together** sits collapsed at the bottom if you need to see where the research looked
beyond the client's own dossier, which is worth a glance when something in it surprises
you.
## Exporting and annotating
**Export PDF** and **Add note** sit in the left rail. The PDF is generated in your browser
when you ask for it: A4 portrait, light theme, page numbered, and cut so cards and lists
aren't sliced in half. See [Scores and reports](/using/scores-and-reports#exporting-a-report-as-a-pdf)
for the detail, it works the same way on both kinds of report.
Notes you add here are attached to this brief, see [Notes](/using/notes).
## If a brief couldn't be written
Occasionally the writing step is stopped before it produces a brief. Instead of the
document you'll see **Brief not composed**, with the reason, and the note that *"The
research is cached, so recording the prep again reuses it and only re-runs the writing
step."*
Record the prep again for that client. You won't pay for the research twice.
