Services and coordination functions
This page lists the primary coordination functions available through the xihomscan workspace and explains how they support organized negotiation practice. Scheduling provides a persistent timeline view where sessions, preparatory notes, and participant roles are visible in one place. Agenda alignment links items to time windows so participants can prepare input in advance. Discussion mapping records interaction points as tagged notes tied to specific agenda items. Record keeping stores outcomes and open items alongside the original timeline entry for later reference. The design of these functions emphasizes consistent context and structured outputs rather than broad or qualitative assessments. The descriptions below explain each area and how it supports a repeatable meeting workflow oriented toward clarity and traceability.
Scheduling and timeline management
Scheduling and timeline management combine a shared calendar perspective with slot-level context. A timeline entry includes the scheduled window, an optional preparatory note area, and assigned participant roles such as moderator or note-taker. Entries can be sequenced and grouped to form multi-session negotiation plans. When a timeline is visible to participants prior to a meeting, contributors can align their preparation to the specific time window and the role expected of them. During sessions, the timeline helps a facilitator observe progress through planned items and flag items that require follow-up. The stored timeline, its attachments, and linked notes provide a concise record of how time was allocated across the negotiation sequence.
Agenda alignment and discussion mapping
Agenda alignment associates topics with timeline slots and makes dependencies explicit. An agenda item can carry a brief context summary, required preparatory documents, and a suggested time window. Linking agenda items to time windows reduces the chance of out-of-sequence discussion and supports a consistent order of topics across sessions. Discussion mapping complements alignment by letting note-takers or facilitators tag points made during conversation and link them to the corresponding agenda item. Tags can indicate a clarification, a question, a proposal, or an assigned action. The result is a threaded record where statements and actions remain connected to both the agenda and the point in time when they occurred.
Record keeping and exportable summaries
Record keeping organizes outcomes in a structured format that links decisions, open items, and assigned owners back to the timeline and agenda. Records are stored as concise entries with timestamps and responsible parties, enabling later review without reprocessing long transcripts. Exportable summaries provide a compact representation of the meeting sequence, the items covered, and the resulting open tasks. These summaries are intended for internal reference and to preserve the context of interactions across subsequent sessions. The content model focuses on traceability and minimal structured context rather than raw verbatim detail.
Implementation guidance and roles
Implementing these functions in an organizational setting usually involves defining facilitation and note-taking roles, and agreeing on a simple timeline structure for initial sessions. A facilitation role focuses on keeping to the planned sequence, while a note-taker applies tags and links notes to agenda items during the meeting. Over time, a small set of timeline templates can help teams apply consistent patterns to recurring negotiation activities. The objective is to reduce rework and ensure that later reviews have clear contextual anchors for each recorded item.
