## Prompt

```text
Help me make sense of what I heard in my first one-on-ones with the team I've taken over. This is step 2 of the 'Take over an existing team' pack; paste your notes from the step 1 conversations.

**Notes from each conversation:** [PASTE - use initials or labels, not full names]
**What my boss expects from me:** [EXPECTATIONS]
**Team metrics or results I can see:** [DATA, if any]
**Step 1 output (optional):** [PASTE]

Work through:
1. Recurring themes, with how many people raised each and representative points in paraphrase. Separate facts from opinions.
2. Contradictions: where people see the same thing differently, and what I'd need to find out.
3. Problems sorted into: quick wins I can fix in 30 days, important but needs time, and outside my control (escalate or explain).
4. Team strengths to protect while I make changes.
5. People signals: who seems at risk of leaving, overloaded, or ready for more responsibility. Treat these as hypotheses to test, not judgments.
6. Questions I still can't answer, and who could help.

Return two versions: a one-page summary I could share with the team (themes and planned actions, nothing attributed to individuals), and a private version with my working notes. Don't add themes that aren't in the notes.
