# Management Prep Meeting Notes

Date: 2026-06-11
Participants: Product, Engineering, Operations, Sales

## Purpose

Prepare a leadership demo that explains what Beaver is, what progress has been made, and what use cases are realistic for the company.

## Discussion

Product team recommended avoiding a page-by-page product tour. Leadership should see how Beaver supports real business work: summarize information, create a task, show evidence, revise output, accept result, and reuse the method.

Engineering confirmed that the current system can show login, files, chat workspace, task records, task detail, skills, cron, status, and logs. The most stable story is the core loop: chat-to-task, evidence, revision, acceptance, and skill reuse explanation.

Operations noted that management will care about governance. The demo should mention private deployment, instance boundaries, model provider configuration, connector configuration, status, and logs. The team should avoid overpromising fully autonomous actions.

Sales said the clearest executive scenarios are:

- CEO morning brief
- Customer feedback analysis
- Project risk review
- Weekly support summary
- AI task governance and evidence

## Decisions

1. Use a 60-minute demo format.
2. Target company leadership, not external customers.
3. Start with business outcomes, then show product capabilities.
4. Use realistic but fictional sample files.
5. Keep Outlook and external connector demo optional.
6. Prepare backup outputs in case live model generation is slow.

## Open Questions

1. Which internal workflow should become the first pilot?
2. What metric should be used to evaluate Beaver: time saved, accepted tasks, quality, or risk reduction?
3. Should the next milestone focus on polish, connector hardening, or skill lifecycle?
