MEETING MINUTES
Meeting: Mirror Spot Inspection
Attendees: Subject (sole attendee)
Duration: Approximately 4 minutes
Location: Bathroom mirror, morning
Agenda

- Initial assessment
- Decision

- Second inspection
Discussion
The mark was noticed incidentally. The subject was performing routine morning maintenance when one small area of skin presented as slightly different from surrounding skin in a way the subject found noteworthy. The subject leaned closer.
The initial assessment took approximately eight seconds. During this time, the subject examined the mark from two angles and concluded it was probably nothing. The word "probably" was not examined further.
The decision to leave it alone was made before the inspection that followed it, which is the wrong order, but it is the order in which the process runs. The decision and the inspection occupy separate phases. The inspection does not inform the decision. The decision has already been made when the inspection begins.
Second Inspection
The subject leaned closer again, this time applying mild pressure to the surrounding area to determine whether the mark was flatter or more raised than it had appeared at the original distance. This produced additional information. The additional information did not change the original decision. It did extend the meeting.
The subject searched their memory for whether the mark had been there the previous week. Memory of minor skin conditions is not reliably available for retrieval, which meant this search produced no usable results.
Action Items
None. The meeting generated no action items, which is unusual for a meeting of this intensity. The subject made a mental note to check it again in a few days, which is the closest the meeting came to an action item without actually being one.
Next Meeting
Scheduled informally, without a fixed date, whenever the subject is next at the mirror and happens to think of it.
