Case study

Meeting prep infrastructure

An automated Monday workflow for a heavy calendar of meetings that each need their own prep materials.

The problem

Meeting prep depends on meeting dates, discussion guides, publish schedules, and the timing of grant payments and reports. Without a shared workflow, staff were pulling their hair out trying to manage deadlines and expectations.

What I built

A staged Monday workflow with automated support for repeatable steps: discussion guide folder creation, template population, reminder generation, and publish-date calculation. Manual gates control when a meeting is ready and whether changed dates have invalidated existing materials.

Workflow states

What made it hard

Meeting readiness is judgment-based. Automation can create folders and calculate dates, but it cannot decide whether a conversation is ready, whether dates are final, or whether a packet is safe to use.
