Confidence isn’t a feeling. It’s a receipt.
Most note tools are “fine” until they fail on the one moment that matters: a number, a name, a decision, a promise. We test the failure modes and publish the receipts.

Failure-first testing
We publish where tools break, not just their highlights.
Receipts over opinions
Side-by-side outputs with ground truth and pass/fail stamps.

Fix: Wispr Flow with entity tagging + Meeting Recap template
