Why this helps
Document metadata drifts when changes live in task notes and are applied manually later.
- Reduces metadata drift
- Turns task instructions into an action
- Creates a clear report of each change

- 3Tell Notis to apply the explicit metadata instructions in each updated task to its linked Affinda document.
