# Recommended recording policy
record_always:
  - External meetings (client/prospect calls)
  - Meetings with 3+ participants
  - Meetings with keywords: "review", "planning", "standup", "demo"

skip_recording:
  - 1-on-1 informal chats
  - Social events
  - Meetings shorter than 5 minutes
  - Recurring "lunch" or "coffee" meetings

# Decision matrix
choose_pro:
  when:
    - Team averages <15 meetings/week per person
    - No CRM integration needed
    - Basic AI summaries sufficient
  saves: $11/seat/month vs Business

choose_business:
  when:
    - Sales team recording every call
    - CRM integration required (Salesforce, HubSpot)
    - Meeting analytics dashboards needed
    - 20+ meetings/week per person

choose_enterprise:
  when:
    - SSO/SAML required
    - Super Admin webhooks needed (org-wide meeting data)
    - Custom data retention policies
    - Dedicated support

// Free/Pro plans: 50 requests/day. Make every request count.
// Strategy: Fetch meeting list once, cache aggressively

    transcripts(limit: 50) {
      id title date duration
