The prompt we tested

You are an expert meeting notes assistant specialized in capturing and structuring notes from in-person meetings where audio may be imperfect, multiple speakers overlap, and context matters. Follow these rules strictly: Output structured notes in Markdown with these sections: **Meeting Summary** (2-3 sentences), **Attendees**, **Key Discussion Points** (bulleted, grouped by topic), **Decisions Made**, **Action Items** (table with Owner, Task, Due Date), and **Open Questions / Follow-ups**. Keep language concise and professional, infer reasonable context when audio is unclear but flag uncertain items with [unclear], and never invent names, dates, or commitments not present in the input.

Here is the raw meeting content (transcript, recorded audio notes, or rough jotted notes from an in-person meeting):

Rough notes from today's in-person strategy meeting in the conference room: Sarah, Mike, and I (Jen) met for about 45 min to discuss the Q3 product roadmap. Mike pushed back on the mobile-first approach citing engineering bandwidth, Sarah agreed we should prioritize the enterprise dashboard redesign first, and we decided Mike will scope the dashboard work by next Friday while I set up a follow-up with the design team.

# Meeting Notes: Q3 Product Roadmap Strategy

## Meeting Summary
Sarah, Mike, and Jen met in person for approximately 45 minutes to align on Q3 product roadmap priorities. The team debated a mobile-first approach versus focusing on the enterprise dashboard redesign, ultimately agreeing to prioritize the dashboard work. Next steps include scoping the dashboard effort and coordinating with the design team.

## Attendees
- Sarah
- Mike
- Jen (note-taker)

## Key Discussion Points

**Q3 Product Roadmap Direction**
- Reviewed proposed priorities for the upcoming quarter.

**Mobile-First Approach**
- Mike raised concerns about pursuing a mobile-first approach, citing limited engineering bandwidth.
- Trade-offs between mobile investment and other priorities were weighed.

**Enterprise Dashboard Redesign**
- Sarah advocated for prioritizing the enterprise dashboard redesign ahead of other initiatives.
- Team aligned that dashboard work offers more immediate value given current capacity constraints.

## Decisions Made
- Deprioritize the mobile-first initiative for Q3 due to engineering bandwidth limitations.
- Prioritize the enterprise dashboard redesign as the leading Q3 workstream.

## Action Items

| Owner | Task | Due Date |
|-------|------|----------|
| Mike | Scope the enterprise dashboard redesign work | Next Friday [unclear — specific date not provided] |
| Jen | Set up a follow-up meeting with the design team | Not specified |

## Open Questions / Follow-ups
- What is the exact calendar date for Mike's scoping deliverable? [unclear]
- When will the follow-up with the design team be scheduled, and who should attend?
- Will mobile-first be revisited in Q4, or removed from the roadmap entirely?
- Are there specific engineering bandwidth figures or constraints to document for future planning?
Judge notes: The output is clean, accurate, and well-structured, but slightly pads thin source material with inferred content ("Trade-offs between mobile investment and other priorities were weighed," "offers more immediate value given current capacity constraints") that edges past the "flag uncertain items with [unclear]" instruction without flagging those inferences.

# Meeting Notes: Q3 Product Roadmap Strategy

**Meeting Summary**
The team met to discuss Q3 product roadmap priorities and encountered a resource constraint conflict regarding the mobile-first approach. After discussion, the group agreed to prioritize the enterprise dashboard redesign first, with Mike to scope the work and Jen to coordinate with the design team.

**Attendees**
- Sarah
- Mike
- Jen

**Key Discussion Points**

**Product Roadmap Priorities**
- Mobile-first approach was proposed but encountered resistance
- Mike raised concern about engineering bandwidth constraints for mobile-first initiative
- Sarah advocated for prioritizing the enterprise dashboard redesign instead
- Team consensus: enterprise dashboard redesign should be the Q3 priority

**Resource & Scope Considerations**
- Engineering bandwidth is a limiting factor for parallel initiatives
- Dashboard redesign identified as more feasible within current constraints

---

## Decisions Made
- **Priority Decision:** Enterprise dashboard redesign will be prioritized for Q3 over mobile-first approach
- **Approach:** Address dashboard work first, then reassess mobile-first feasibility

---

## Action Items

| Owner | Task | Due Date |
|-------|------|----------|
| Mike | Scope the enterprise dashboard redesign work | Next Friday |
| Jen | Set up follow-up meeting with design team | [unclear—assume early next week pending Mike's scope] |

---

## Open Questions / Follow-ups
- Timeline for mobile-first approach—will this be deferred to Q4 or reconsidered once dashboard is scoped?
- What is the specific scope of the enterprise dashboard redesign?
- When should the design team follow-up meeting occur?
Judge notes: The output is clean and well-structured, but the Action Items table adds an invented assumption ("[unclear—assume early next week pending Mike's scope]") for Jen's due date when the source notes contain no such information, violating the stated rule against inferring commitments not present in the input.

*   Mike
*   Jen

**Key Discussion Points**
*   **Q3 Roadmap Prioritization**
    *   A mobile-first product strategy was initially discussed for the upcoming quarter.
    *   Mike raised concerns that the engineering team currently lacks the bandwidth to effectively execute a mobile-first initiative.
    *   Sarah supported this concern and proposed prioritizing the enterprise dashboard redesign as a more achievable and high-value goal for Q3.

**Decisions Made**
*   The enterprise dashboard redesign will be the primary focus for the Q3 product roadmap, deferring the mobile-first approach.

**Action Items**

| Owner | Task | Due Date |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
