How does the Timeline Narrative work?

We analyze the document package to identify key decisions, disputes, and maintenance events. We then arrange them chronologically and generate an audio narration, allowing you to listen to the building's story instead of reading through hundreds of pages.

Is the Timeline Narrative available for every report?

The feature is automatically generated for any document package that contains strata council meeting minutes. If the uploaded documents do not contain minutes, this specific narrative cannot be constructed.

Can I see the original details behind the audio summary?

Yes. While the audio gives you the story, the interface features clickable entries for detailed context. You can click on any specific event in the timeline to read the detailed explanation based on the source documents.

How is this different from the 'Highlights' feature?

The 'Highlights' feature is designed for a quick glance at the most critical risks. The Timeline Narrative provides the full context—connecting the dots between the 'Noted by Engineers' issues and 'Handled by Council' actions to show you the complete story of how the building is managed over time.

Introducing the Timeline Narrative: The New Standard in Strata and Condo Document Review

Q: What is the Timeline Narrative?

The Timeline Narrative is a first-of-its-kind engine that reconstructs years of meeting minutes into a clear, chronological audio and visual experience. It explains the building's recent history to you as if you had been sitting on the council yourself.

The Timeline Narrative, an Audio Summary for Strata & Condo Documents

For too long, "innovation" in document review just meant turning a PDF into searchable text or adding a few digital highlights.

At the end of the day, you were still left staring at a screen, cross-referencing scattered dates, and trying to piece together the truth from hundreds of pages of dry meeting minutes. The tools gave you the text, but they didn't give you the story.

At StrataReports, we took a different path.

We started by moving beyond simple highlighting. We introduced Building and Tag Summaries, organizing the chaos into a clear layout in seconds. Then we introduced the all-new Highlights, showing you all the important things you need to see in a glance.

We went deeper with “From Noted by Engineers → Handled by Council,” an industry-first feature that connected the dots between technical reports and council actions.

But we knew there was one final barrier to breaking the standard completely: The Experience.

How do you understand years of history without reading years of minutes?

Introducing the Timeline Narrative

We have built the first engine that reconstructs years of meeting minutes into a clear, chronological audio and visual experience.

We moved you from raw text to summaries. Now, we are moving you from reading to listening.

The Timeline Narrative explains the last three years of the building's history to you as if you have been sitting on the council yourself.

What you can expect:

Audio Narration: Don’t just read the report - listen to it. Perfect for reviewing on the go.
The "Insider" Perspective: We translate complex meeting notes into a coherent story - from the first report of a leak to the final levy or special assessment vote.
Chronological Clarity: See exactly when decisions were made and why, without flipping back and forth between files.
Deep-Dive Context: Click on any entry in the timeline to see the detailed entries backing it up.

Setting the New Standard

Real estate professionals and buyers don't just need data; they need insight. Basic tools give you highlighted text. We give you understanding.

With the Timeline Narrative, you aren't just looking at a snapshot of the building; you are watching the movie of its recent history.

The Timeline Narrative is available now on all new reports.
