Your product is accuracy

Consultants get paid for outcomes, and outcomes trace directly back to how well you captured what the client actually needs. Miss a requirement in a scoping call and it surfaces as a change request, a blown estimate, or a deliverable that misses the mark. Unlike an internal employee, you often can't just walk over and ask again — the detail you lost is detail you're expected to have paid attention to.

Running several client calls a day across different engagements makes it worse. Scope from one client bleeds into your memory of another. Trying to type accurate notes in the moment pulls you out of the consultative conversation that justifies your rate. And every hour spent writing up the meeting afterward is unbillable time you eat yourself. That's the meeting tax charged directly against your margin.

Capture the requirement, protect the scope

Pavleur gives consultants no meeting information loss. The whole client call is captured, so the requirement is preserved in the client's own words — which is exactly what you want when scope is later disputed. "You never asked for that" has an answer. Across multiple engagements, each client's call stays cleanly on its own record instead of blurring together in your memory.

The automatic post-meeting report is where the billable time comes back. After the call, Pavleur produces the recap — decisions, requirements, action items — which seeds your deliverable and your client follow-up. The write-up that used to cost you an unbillable evening becomes a review-and-send.

Clients show you their world on screen

Consulting engagements are visual. Clients share their data, their dashboards, their internal systems, their org charts, their documents. Audio-only tools capture your questions and lose the artifact — and the artifact is often the whole point of the call. "This column here is the problem" is worthless without the column.

Pavleur captures video and on-screen screenshots with context, so the client's system, the data cut, and the document they walked you through are in the record next to the discussion. When you sit down to build the deliverable, you have the evidence, not a memory of it. That visual capture is the edge over audio-only tools like Otter and Fireflies — see the comparison.

Where it pays off

Scoping calls. The requirements and constraints are captured verbatim, so the statement of work matches reality and change requests are grounded.
Kickoffs. Run a clean project kickoff and let Pavleur capture the decisions and owners so the engagement starts aligned.
Status updates. Use a weekly team sync agenda with the client and capture the shifting priorities so nothing surprises you at delivery.

It adapts to how you work with each client

Pavleur's auto-improvement tunes recaps to your engagements over time — the recurring client syncs, the deliverable formats, the follow-ups that matter. The painkiller is accurate capture and reclaimed billable hours; the vitamin is a system that gets better at your specific client work every week.

The bottom line for consultants

Your reputation rides on getting the details right and your margin rides on not eating unbillable write-up time. Pavleur captures the conversation and the client's screen, then writes the recap that becomes your deliverable. Compare it against audio-only tools on the comparison page.
