Decisions, Action Items & Blockers
Atntiv detects concrete outcomes that emerge during a meeting. These outcomes represent commitments, responsibilities, obstacles, and meaningful shifts in understanding.
Decisions
A Decision is detected when the team explicitly agrees on a direction, choice, or resolution.
Typical signals include:
- “We’ll move forward with the new validation flow.”
- “Let’s deprecate the old API.”
- “The backend team will own this going forward.”
- “We’re shipping this in the current sprint.”
Decisions represent commitments, not suggestions or open discussion.
Action Items
An Action Item is a concrete task that someone is expected to carry out after the meeting.
Atntiv looks for language that implies responsibility or follow-up work:
- “I’ll implement the new validation logic.”
- “Can you update the deployment pipeline?”
- “We need someone to handle versioning.”
- “Let’s assign this to DevOps.”
When possible, Atntiv identifies ownership who is responsible for completing the action.
Blockers
A Blocker is detected when the conversation reveals something that prevents progress or introduces risk.
Common signals include:
- “We can’t move forward until this is clarified.”
- “This depends on another team.”
- “We’re blocked by missing credentials.”
- “This might delay the release.”
Blockers highlight where progress is stalled or uncertain.
Key Insights
Key Insights capture moments where understanding meaningfully changes, even if no explicit decision or task is assigned.
Examples include:
- Clarifying an incorrect assumption
- Reframing the scope of a problem
- Identifying a previously unnoticed constraint
- Aligning on why something failed or succeeded
Key Insights explain why decisions and actions make sense in context.
