Understanding Detail Levels
When you upload a recording, you choose a detail level that controls how much information ends up in the finished minutes. Different boards have different needs — MuniMins lets you choose per meeting.
Brief "Action Minutes" — One sentence per topic plus motions and votes, commonly referred to as "Action Minutes". This is the tightest output that omits summarizing board discussions. Best for boards that want a clean record of actions or publish full recordings of meetings alongisde the minutes.
Standard — Concise summaries with key discussions points per topic. Captures the reasoning behind decisions with balanced attribution of comment to board members. This is the most common choice.
Detailed — Captures who said what and how the conversation developed. Best for boards where the public record needs to reflect the full discussion — select boards, planning boards with complex hearings, or any meeting where individual positions matter. About 2x the detail of standard.
Ultra-Detailed - close to transcript level summary, for boards that demand maximum informmation. A 3 hour meeting may span 15-20 pages. Only available for boards that have strong voice profiles among members. Additional charges may apply for Ultra-Detailed meetings.
Choose Detail Level at Upload Time
Different boards want different levels of detail, and certain events like public hearings may warrent more detail. By choosing the detail level every time you upload you can match the meeting requirement.
Change it via Regeneration.
If the first set of minutes comes back and you want more (or less) detail, you can regenerate the minutes at a different detail level without re-uploading the recording. See Regenerating Minutes.
