Verbatim Fidelity Threshold
Meeting assistants transcribe with high accuracy, but summaries and action items are interpretations, not records. Agencies that treat AI-generated notes as verbatim truth risk misquoting clients on scope, pricing, or compliance-sensitive details. The Verbatim Fidelity Threshold framework holds that the value of a meeting assistant scales with the fidelity required by the use case: searchable transcripts demand high word accuracy, while internal recaps tolerate more abstraction. For client-facing deliverables, always pair AI summaries with human review of the original transcript. For example, a discovery call summary sent to a client must match their words on key decisions, whereas an internal standup recap can be looser. Tools like Fireflies and Otter offer high transcription accuracy, but the framework reminds agencies to define fidelity needs per artifact, not per tool.
