Capture the institutional knowledge, relationships, and unwritten practices of a departing pastor, elder, or ministry leader.
What are the most important ongoing relationships you maintain in this congregation?
Think about families, long-time members, community partners, or anyone whose connection runs through you personally.
Are there any members or families currently in a critical care situation that your successor should know about?
You don't need to share sensitive details — just enough to ensure continuity of care and follow-up.
Which programs or ministries depend most heavily on your personal involvement to function?
Include anything that would stall or struggle without you specifically — not just your title.
What unwritten practices, traditions, or rhythms matter most to this congregation?
Things that aren't in any handbook but would cause real friction if a new leader changed them without knowing.
What have you learned about this congregation that isn't written down anywhere?
Historical context, sensitivities, dynamics, or stories that shaped who this community is today.
What do you wish you had known in your first year here?
What would have helped you move faster, avoid friction, or build trust sooner?
What would you tell your successor about how to build trust with this community?
Be specific — what do people here need to see or hear before they open up to new leadership?
Where does critical information about this ministry live — contacts, records, schedules, accounts?
List the systems, folders, spreadsheets, or people who hold operational knowledge.
After each completed session, Mayetik generates a structured AI summary. Here's an example of the output format — the actual content reflects each respondent's answers.
The respondent's answers highlighted three recurring themes — each supported by specific examples drawn from their experience. The summary captures what was said, not what was expected.
Two responses stood out as unusually detailed and pointed to an area worth following up on. The full text of each answer is preserved below the summary.
Based on the patterns in this session, the AI identified three concrete actions for the project team to consider. These are drawn directly from the respondent's own suggestions.
