01

Built for the backlog team under pressure

Lite is deliberately narrow. It helps a board support team turn historical meetings into reviewed minutes without managing Word versions by email.

  • Bulk meeting import with CSV preflight.
  • Folder upload for recordings, transcripts, board packs, support notes, and separate report files where needed.
  • Source matching and recovery when a batch needs more material.
  • Draft minutes in the customer's formal house style.
02

Review and regeneration stay controlled

Private reviewer links gather comments, uploads, and no-comment confirmations. The chair or delegated user decides what becomes source material for regeneration.

03

The output is practical

DOCX remains the working record for many board support teams. Boardmate also supports PDF, action extraction, and audit history so the approval package is clear.

What to check

  1. Import CSV, recordings, transcripts, board packs, support notes, and separate report files where needed.
  2. Preflight the batch so gaps are visible before minutes are generated.
  3. Draft formal house-style minutes from the available source material.
  4. Request comments through private reviewer links and track confirmations.
  5. Chair or delegate accepts feedback before regeneration and approval.
  6. Export DOCX, PDF, action items, and an auditable record.

Reviewer workspace

Selected passages, reviewer comments, and chair decisions stay attached to the draft.

Common questions

Questions about this Boardmate workflow.

Does reviewer feedback automatically rewrite the minutes?

No. Reviewer comments are review input. The chair or delegated board support user decides which feedback shapes the next draft.

Can Boardmate be evaluated with a small sample batch?

Yes. A first evaluation usually works best with several ordinary meetings, one complex meeting, one short or adjourned meeting, and prior minutes that show house style.

Is Boardmate Lite separate from Boardmate Full?

Lite is the backlog-clearing workbench. Full is the broader board cycle workspace for agendas, report requests, board packs, annual compliance tasks, actions, approvals, reminders, and governance memory.
