Meeting summary as a PDF
A raw note goes in, a finished document with your cover page comes out.
How it is now
Meeting notes sit untouched until evening, because there's no time to write them up during the day. The client gets the summary a week later.
Step by step
What happens, in order
Meeting note
You paste whatever you managed to write down. No tidying first.
Cleanup, paragraph by paragraph
Typos, punctuation, word endings. The content stays intact.
Suggested headings
The document splits into sections, so it can be skimmed at a glance.
Check that nothing vanished
A second pair of eyes compares the edited version with the source.
PDF layout
Cover page, logo in the header, the client's name and the meeting date.

Assuming 15 summaries a month. That is 13 h a month, or $975. Over a year that is 156 h and $11,700. You do not need to outsource this or hire someone for it.
Nerves
You retype notes in the evening, because there was no time during the day.
The summary goes out the same day, right after the meeting.
A reconstruction, not a screen recording from a client. The steps and numbers are real, the animation is simplified. Amounts are calculated at a rate of $75 per hour and rounded down.
