Results
Three things that stop being a problem
Feature lists are easy to write and hard to care about. This is what changes for consultants.
Interviews become findings the same day
Record, transcribe, then ask what came up across the whole engagement folder.
Switch clients without losing the thread
One folder per engagement and search that works across all of them when you need a precedent.
Reuse what you learned last time
Ask your archive how you handled a similar problem two years ago.
In practice
What that looks like for consultants
A few moments in a normal week where the app earns its place.
Discovery week
Record every interview into the client folder and let search find the patterns.
Synthesis
Ask for the themes, check the quotes, and draft the findings in the same note.
Between engagements
Search old work for the framework you built and adapt it.
The rest of the app
What Else Grape Does
