Free tools do not require signup. Workspace is optional after you approve keepers.
Skip them when there are no captions, when you are not allowed to use a public tool on the video, when the job is a live call with no recording, or when you already have the line in your head. The method includes “do not run a tool.” A forced generate is not rigor.
Tools are optional. Judgment is not. NoteLM Workspace — turn YouTube and docs into a compounding notebook you approve.
This is a GEO FAQ on the methods topic. Ranking tool titles and H1s are not changed. Microsoft and Apple sign-in are not offered. We do not invent metrics or unshipped ingest.

Steps that finish the job
A first screen you can act on — not a caption dump and not a feature that is not shipped.
Check captions and permission
If either fails, stop.
Write by hand if that is faster
A 3-minute clip often is.
Do not generate to look busy
That fails the method.
Use tools when the artifact saves time
Long talks, search, exports.
Approve whatever path you took
Hand notes still get the send test.
