For Senior PMs
Your Tuesday morning discovery call, still queryable in September.
In your existing workflow. Still queryable months after the call.
The workflow you already have.
Tuesday 9:00am
You run the call in Zoom / Meet.
Tuesday 9:47am
You drop the recording into RICS. Brief renders in 90 seconds.
Tuesday 9:52am
You share the URL in your team Slack.
Nothing else changes.
01 / the brief
Four columns, not one transcript.
A transcript gives you back the words. The write-up you never get round to is the part that turns words into a decision. RICS runs a tagging pass across four dimensions so that work is already done when you open the brief.
Says · diarised
The quote, attributed to the speaker, timestamped.
Thinks · extracted
The position behind the quote. This is the column that costs you a re-listen.
Does · observed
What they actually demonstrated during the call, not what they described.
Feels · flagged
Where the temperature moved, so you know which parts to trust least.
Splitting Says from Thinks is the whole point. Willingness to pay almost never lands in Says — someone tells you the sticker price is a hard no, and the real constraint is the effective rate, or the procurement threshold, or who has to sign. Keeping those in separate columns is what stops a roadmap from being built on the quote instead of the position.
02 / the corpus
And in September, you ask it a question.
Every brief you have ever filed stays in one corpus. Six months after the Tuesday call, the specified behaviour is that you ask in plain language — what did segment leads say about price? — and get a synthesis back with every brief it drew on, each bullet linked to the timestamp it came from.
- Natural-language queries against the entire brief corpus.
- Cross-brief synthesis when a query matches more than one brief.
- Faceted filters: date range, participant, segment, risk tag, empathy dimension.
RICS is pre-launch and ships to design partners in Q1 2027. Nothing above has shipped yet — it is the spec the corpus is being built against, and design partners get to argue with it.
