Open review to insights, not "we should synthesize those"

Email Carly the research folder and she'll read every transcript, group the raw quotes into themes, and return a one-page insights doc with verbatim pull-quotes linked back to the sources — perfect for a product team that does 5–8 interviews a week and has no time to synthesize.

Notion

What Carly does

1. 01 List transcripts from the Research folder for the given window
2. 02 Fetch each transcript and extract raw statements
3. 03 Cluster statements into 3–5 themes, ranked by frequency and severity
4. 04 For each theme, pick 2–3 verbatim quotes with a back-link to the source transcript
5. 05 Append the insights page with themes, quotes, and suggested actions

Insights ready before the review

Every product review starts with the themes already on the page — not 'we should really synthesize those interviews'. Decisions reference quotes, not vibes.

Email this to Carly to kick it off.

Hey Carly,

Can you go through this week's interview transcripts in our Research folder in Notion and pull together a one-page insights doc? I'd love it if you grouped the raw statements into 3–5 themes ranked by how often they came up and how painful they sound, then picked 2–3 verbatim quotes per theme with links back to the source transcripts. Append it all to our Insights page with suggested actions, so the team can walk into review with the themes already up.

Thanks!
