• Paste the cleaned transcript, not the raw timestamped one — Claude wastes tokens parsing 00:14:32 markers.
• Add a line in like 'Our ICP: B2B SaaS, $5M-$50M ARR' so the model can flag fit signals.
• Run this prompt as a Fathom/Fireflies webhook → Zapier → Claude API → HubSpot note for fully hands-off logging.
