Where they differed most
Automatic transcription, and it has clearly misheard things. 'we need to get the S O W signed before we can start the disco very phase' … 'the client wants net thirty but our standard is net fifteen' … 'ARR is at four hundred and twenty K, sorry, four twenty thousand' … 'talk to Deloitte about the audit — no, not Deloitte, the other one, Grant Thornton'. Write the cleaned summary. Silently fix the transcription errors that are obvious from context, but where the AMBIGUITY IS REAL rather than a mishearing, flag it instead of guessing. One of these four is a genuine correction the speaker made out loud, not a transcription error, and it must be treated as such. Under 120 words.
- The SOW must be signed before the discovery phase begins. - The client wants Net 30 payment terms; the standard is Net 15. - ARR is 420,000; currency was not specified. - The speaker corrected the audit firm from Deloitte to Grant Thornton. Contact Grant Thornton about the audit.
- Obtain the SOW signature before beginning the discovery phase. - The client is requesting Net 30 payment terms; our standard terms are Net 15. - ARR is $420,000. - Discuss the audit with Grant Thornton, not Deloitte.
