Research notes
Notes that can be used after the meeting.
A XYVI note is written for reuse. It starts with the claim in a single sentence, then records the context that made the claim worth testing. The body separates observation from interpretation, because a careful reader should be able to reuse the evidence without inheriting every conclusion.
The notes favor practical topics: how answer engines change discovery, why a knowledge base becomes harder to maintain, what a documentation format hides, where applied AI creates operational pressure, and how a technical decision behaves under European constraints. The tone is plain because plain language makes weak assumptions easier to find.
Not every note ends with a recommendation. Some end with a better question, a watch condition, or a reason to wait. That restraint is intentional. The lab is more useful when it preserves uncertainty honestly than when it performs confidence for effect.
