The thing everyone agrees on in the meeting and nobody writes down correctly.
means Something officially necessary or demanded before a goal counts as met.
from From French 'requerre,' rooted in Latin 'requirere' — 're-' (again) plus 'quaerere' (to seek, ask). So a requirement is literally something sought again and again — which tracks, since in meetings it apparently must be asked for repeatedly and still never gets written down right.
