KOL meeting prep brief
Before any KOL, advisor, or external expert call, a two-pager: publications, recent talks, prior interactions on record, talking points hypothesized from their last decade.
Yungsten Tech · Rounds
Ninety minutes with the C-suite, every other week. A quiet wiki. Four agents, built with you over the first quarter. The operating load that usually waits for the next hire.
What Rounds is
Rounds is what clinical teams call the ritual where the senior group walks through cases. We borrowed the name. The retainer has the same shape: a small, repeated session where the operating posture gets tended.
The work between sessions is quieter. A wiki that tends itself. Claude on the right laptops, configured the way we set it up for our own team. A small set of agents — the running directives a hospital would call standing orders.
Five pillars
The wiki feeds the agents. The agents feed Rounds. Rounds feeds the seminar. The seminar feeds the wiki.
A private wiki in Obsidian. Claude tends it quietly between sessions. By month two it’s the place where decisions, sources, and people get recorded once.
C-suite and operators on Claude Pro/Max with the right MCPs, configured the way we run it for our own team.
Ninety minutes with the C-suite, every other week. We arrive with what the agents surfaced, what the wiki absorbed, and what the next two weeks could carry.
A small set of running directives, built with you over the first quarter and iterated after. The first weeks are discovery — what signal matters, where it lives, who reads the output.
A monthly seminar for the broader team. Updated each month because the tooling moves each month.
What an agent looks like, concretely
Each is a build. Discovery first, then ship.
Before any KOL, advisor, or external expert call, a two-pager: publications, recent talks, prior interactions on record, talking points hypothesized from their last decade.
A Friday brief on the journals, preprints, and competitor pipelines that move the conversation for the program in front of you. When programs diverge enough that one brief becomes noise, we run separate briefs.
Before any partner alliance meeting, joint steering committee, investor 1:1, or external 1:1, a quiet brief on what was discussed last, what has changed since, and what they care about — pulled from the meeting record, not a CRM you do not have time to maintain.
Turns the running notes, meeting transcripts, and threads of a given month into a structured first draft of the next board update. The raw material assembled; the synthesis stays with the team.
Cadence
A working rhythm by the end of the quarter.
Mostly listening. The wiki begins to take shape. Claude is on the team’s laptops. No agent ships in the first month.
First agent moves from discovery into build. Rounds is the standing biweekly. The monthly seminar opens.
First agent in flight. First quarterly review — what stuck, what did not, what to scope next.
Rolling. Two new agent scopes per quarter; one retired. The second year does not have to look like the first.
Retainer
Monthly retainer, scoped to cadence, room size, and which agents you want first. The range sits in the leave-behind.
The hire that competes for this budget is usually a strong chief of staff or senior EA, or the next analyst, writer, or comms slot. A year of Rounds fits inside that line. It can sit alongside the hire, or instead of it, depending on the year.
