Capture and decompose

How Triad turns a meeting transcript into structured intelligence

When to use Capture

Use Capture after any partner interaction worth remembering: exec syncs, joint account planning, roadmap reviews, workshops, and working sessions. The input can be a full meeting transcript, Otter or Zoom notes, or bullet notes you typed yourself.

Capture is the primary path for populating Triad. Without it, relationship signals, pipeline context, and AI briefings have little to work with.

Paste, decompose, review

Open Capture from the sidebar. Choose the partner and activity date, then paste your narrative into the text area. Click Decompose.

Triad runs the decompose-activity skill against your org's data: candidate accounts, opportunities, projects (implementations), events, and contacts. The output includes an activity summary, motion lens when the partner runs multiple motions, contexts (account, opportunity, or project), and next steps tagged to your org or the partner with owners and due dates.

Nothing is saved until you confirm. The review screen is where you correct mis-linked accounts, add missing participants, or adjust next-step ownership.

Save and see it on the partner timeline

When you save, Triad writes the activity, links contexts, and stores the original narrative for audit. The activity appears on the partner's recent activity feed, account rails, and dashboard recency widgets.

Open the saved activity to see structured notes, linked pipeline and projects, and participant list. Transcripts are flagged automatically (`is_transcript`) so Read the Room can recommend analysis on the right material.

Draft the follow-up email

From the activity detail page, open Draft follow-up email. Triad generates a message addressed to the right contact with a subject tied to the meeting and a body covering decisions and bilateral next steps.

Copy plain text, copy as HTML, or open in Gmail in one click. The draft is grounded in what was captured — not invented context.

Common gotchas

Decompose quality depends on partner and account names already in Triad. Fuzzy names sometimes need manual picks during review.

Very short notes may produce fewer contexts and next steps than a full transcript. That is expected — capture what you have.

Multi-motion partners: if the partner has more than one motion tag, confirm the motion lens on review; it affects how activity rolls up in motion-filtered views.

Frequently asked questions

Does Triad invent facts that were not in my paste?
Decompose extracts structure from your narrative and links to existing records. Notes are summarized, not fabricated deals. Always review before save — especially next-step owners and dates.
Can I capture without a transcript?
Yes. Notes and partial summaries work. Read the Room works best on transcripts; other features still use the saved activity.
What activity types can decompose assign?
Types come from your organization's configured list (Meeting, Call, Joint Account Planning, Exec Alignment, Roadmap Review, and others). The model must pick one of those exact values.
I decomposed but save failed — did I lose the work?
The parsed draft stays on the review screen until you navigate away. Fix validation errors (missing partner, invalid dates) and try save again.
