The handoff

A set of summaries and conversational research notes tied to the selected video sources.

Keep in mind

Summaries can omit visual context, misstate a speaker’s meaning, or rely on incomplete source material. Use only content you are permitted to review, check important claims and quotations against the original, and have a person verify consequential guidance before acting on or sharing it.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Choose eligible videos and collections

Define what material may be submitted and confirm the requester is allowed to use it for the planned review.

Set summary and citation expectations

Choose useful note formats and decide how source references, incomplete information, and uncertainty should appear.

Protect notes and conversation history

Limit access to source material and questions to the people who need them, with appropriate retention.

Test partial and conflicting material

Check missing details, contradictory statements, and questions without clear answers to ensure gaps remain visible.
