The Stuck Meeting Survival Kit.

Five practical templates for meetings that need to produce decisions, proof and movement, not another calendar invite with a suspiciously optimistic title.

Start building Read about the book

Pick the problem, fill in the template, then copy or download your populated version as a PDF.

Use this when the room is circling.

If everyone is talking but nobody can state the decision, name the blocker, prove the next step or explain what happens next, this kit gives the meeting a spine.

Decision fog Nobody can say what has actually been decided.
Blocker fog Everything is “legal, data, budget or governance”. Nothing is owned.
Proof fog Lots of debate. No evidence. Endless circling.
Simple flow Pick the problem, fill the fields, use the output.
PDF downloads Download a populated PDF you can share straight after the meeting.

What is making this meeting stuck?

Start by choosing the problem. The page will select the right template and show you exactly what to fill in.

Step 01 Pick the problem Choose the symptom that feels closest.
Step 02 Fill the template Use your real meeting, not a fake example.
Step 03 Download the PDF Send the output before the fog regrows.

Decision Sentence

Most meetings fail because nobody leaves with a sentence strong enough to survive outside the room.

Template progress
Fog level: unchallenged
How to use this in the room

Read the sentence out loud before the meeting ends. If people start rewriting it, good. That means you have found the real conversation.

Your Decision Sentence

This updates as you type. Copy it, download it as a PDF, or read it out before anyone escapes the meeting.

Suggested next move

Once the decision sentence is clear, move to Conditions to Proceed and name what must be true for progress to be responsible.

How to use it

Leave with something you can point at.

Before the meeting Pick one problem. Do not try to fix the entire organisation before lunch.
During the meeting Fill it in live. If the room cannot complete it, that tells you where the real problem is hiding.
After the meeting Send the PDF within 24 hours. Decisions decay quickly when left in the corridor.
Want the full method?

The rescue kit gets you through the meeting. The book changes how you run them.

Just F*cking Ship It goes deeper into the VOLTS Method: how to turn stuck meetings into decisions, decisions into proof, and proof into shipped outcomes.
