Opening paragraph that frames the meeting's purpose. What you are walking in to discuss, what success looks like, and any pre-reading the audience should have done. Italicised by default to read as a frame rather than substance. Goal of this meeting. The single most important thing to walk out with. One sentence; everyone in the room should be able to recite it from memory by the end.

1First agenda item

Optional one-sentence lead that frames what this section is for and why it appears on the agenda.

First bullet point — a question, claim, or topic to discuss.
Second bullet point. Keep each item short — one or two sentences.
Optional bold labelThe bold label leads with the term being discussed; the en-dash separator and the rest of the body follow. Use sparingly — heavy bold weight clutters an agenda.
Bullet with a nested sub-list (for "this work splits four ways" type breakdowns):
- Sub-topic AShort description.
- Sub-topic BShort description.
- Sub-topic CShort description.

2Second agenda item

Another agenda topic.
Each section can be 2–8 bullets; longer than that and it is probably two separate sections.

3Section with a callout

First topic in this section.

A pulled-out one-line statement. Use this when one item in the section deserves visual weight above the bullet flow — a single sentence that captures the framing or the open question.

Continuing topic after the callout.

Walk out with

First specific thing the meeting must produce (a decision, a date, a name).
Second specific outcome.
Third specific outcome.
As many as needed. Keep them concrete enough to tick off in the room.
