Handwriting notes for consultants
Write it by hand. Ask it like text.
Write stakeholder interviews by hand on pages of ruled paper and Grape reads the words off the page on the device itself, so a page of an engagement folder in your own hand turns up in search like any typed note and the agent can quote it.
Lined, grid, dotted, graph or plain pages, A4 or Letter, up to a hundred of them
Handwriting read into text on the device, so pages are searchable and the agent can read them
Import a PDF to write over it, export the notebook as one
The same pages open on the desk, where you can keep writing on them
Paper that behaves like paper
Pen, highlighter, eraser, shapes and text boxes on pages that stack the way a notebook does.
Your handwriting, searchable
The words are read off the page on the device itself, and nothing leaves it to do so.
The agent reads your pages
Ask what the lecture said on Tuesday and the answer comes from the ink.
Write on the slides
Import a PDF and annotate it page by page, then export the lot back out as one.
Page forty is a tap away
A navigator shows the whole notebook as thumbnails, with a page added or removed from there.
Open the notebook at the desk
The pages sync like any note and open in the desktop app, where you can add to them.
Executive summary
Three things that stop being billable friction
Not a capability list. What changes when interviews become findings the same day.
01
Interview week ends with ten recordings and no findings.
Interviews become findings the same day
Record, transcribe, then ask what came up across the whole engagement folder.
02
Switching clients means fifteen minutes of reading before you can think.
Switch clients without losing the thread
One folder per engagement and search that works across all of them when you need a precedent.
03
You solved a version of this two years ago and cannot find the deck.
Reuse what you learned last time
Ask your archive how you handled a similar problem two years ago.
An engagement
What that looks like for consultants
Three points in a project where the tool changes the work.
01
Discovery week
Record every interview into the client folder and let search find the patterns.
02
Synthesis
Ask for the themes, check the quotes, and draft the findings in the same note.
03
Between engagements
Search old work for the framework you built and adapt it.

Not for rewriting your notes.
Client interviews, site visits, findings and drafts in one library, so the deliverable comes out of the work you already did instead of a blank page.
