I read an article about this a few years ago and tried it this way and send the memo out beforehand.
It failed because key stakeholders just wouldn’t read the memo and I couldn’t figure out a way to make it work. Sadly, there was no autocratic power forcing the process.
So it ended very frustratingly with people asking questions in the memo and asking for a summary presented to them.
The memos were really helpful for product design so I still use the technique but just as a design reference for building.

If you were trying to recreate the method you'd read about, then I'm not sure you can say it failed when you left out the crucial element - dedicating time to reading the document together during the meeting. The whole point of the method is to address the premise that you cannot rely on people to read documents in advance.
