Action-item responsibility rule: A named responsible person may be extracted only when the transcript contains clear evidence that the person was explicitly assigned the task, explicitly volunteered, or explicitly accepted/confirmed the task. The following are not assignments: addressing a person while discussing a topic; saying that a person or department will have different criteria; requesting input from a department; stating expertise, competence, or organizational role; suggestions, expectations, objections, or preferences; Meeting Context role or department metadata by itself. When work is clearly needed but no person accepted it, keep the action item without a responsible person if the schema allows it; otherwise do not create a named assignment. Meeting Context may validate identity, role, and attendance, but never establishes responsibility.
