The gap between “we record our meetings” and “our CRM is up to date” is an hour of typing nobody has, multiplied by every meeting. This pipeline removes the typing while keeping two things firmly human: consent at the front, confirmation at the back.
| The build at a glance | |
|---|---|
| Best first candidate when | Meetings are recorded and the CRM is stale |
| Human gate | Confirm before anything writes |
| The trust feature | Source line quoted beside each proposed field change |
| Measured by | Notes filed same-day; fields current |
| Typical shape | Fixed-price Kick-starter |
Consent is step one for a reason: the rules in the meeting tools guide take ten minutes to settle and make everything downstream boring, in the good sense. The note shape is the secret: free-form summaries drift and disappoint, while a fixed template turns the model’s job into filling labelled boxes and the human’s job into a skim. Quoting sources beside proposed field changes is the trust feature: the adviser sees the sentence behind “stage: proceeding to application” and confirms in seconds. For advice firms, the same pipeline feeds the suitability drafting playbook downstream, because a well-structured file note is half the inputs gathered.
Where I fit in
This playbook is a standard Kick-starter shape: scoped and priced in writing, built on the tools you already pay for where possible, shipped with the drafts-first trial period and the measurement included. If it is the process your team sighs about, bring it to a call and you will leave with the honest version of effort, cost and payback.
