Run a Meeting That Does Not Need a Follow-Up Email Explaining What Was Decided

Meetings that end without clear decisions or assigned owners do not save time; they produce a follow-up email, a second conversation, and occasionally a third meeting. The structure that fixes this is simple and does not require a skilled facilitator: a defined decision format, a parking space for discussions that are not today's problem, and a closing routine that takes three minutes and means everyone leaves knowing what was decided.

I run regular meetings and they consistently end without clear decisions or owners, which means I spend time afterwards sending summaries of what I thought was agreed. Help me design a meeting structure for [meeting type: team standup, project review, decision meeting, or brainstorm] that: keeps to the allocated time, produces a clear list of decisions and actions with owners before people leave the room, has a format that stops the same discussion happening twice, and does not require a skilled facilitator to run. Give me the structure, the time allocation, and the one thing to say if discussion goes in circles.
