Fellow's obsession with tracking "action items" and "sentiment" misses the point. A meeting format is broken long before you need an app to diagnose it. The best feedback is silence, people showing up late, or the direct "this could have been an email."

But if you're determined to use the tool, skip the fluffy sentiment polls. Use the private notes feature during the meeting to log actual observations in a structured way. Then export that data and grep for patterns yourself. Their baked-in analytics are just vanity metrics.

Example of what I'd log in a private note per meeting:
```
Format: Round-robin
Duration: 60min
Problem: Took 20min for first actionable comment.
Who talked most: Project Manager
Who was silent: Lead Dev (again)
Outcome: Another follow-up meeting scheduled.
```

After a month, scrape your notes export and run a simple analysis. Count how often "follow-up meeting" appears versus "decision made." That's your real feedback. The format that minimizes follow-ups is the winner. No AI needed.


If it ain't broke, don't 'upgrade' it.
