How to Leverage Domain Expertise — Chris Lovejoy, Notius Labs

Granola's first employee was a writer who still reviews meeting note outputs and tweaks prompts directly. Chris Lovejoy says that is not a gap in the org chart. There is no objectively perfect meeting note, so you need someone with taste doing both the assessment and the improvement. He frames this as one of three patterns: the Oracle owns the full loop, the Evaluator defines quality and measures it while engineers improve, the Architect builds systems that improve from usage automatically. Three case studies cover when each is appropriate, what skills to hire for, and what happens when you bring in a domain expert but give them no ownership.
