People sometimes refer to the one-off meetings that happen outside of weekly refinement meetings as pre-refinement. I get it. It's hard to find language to talk about that. But there is no such thing as pre-refinement. Instead, all work associated with adding order, size and detail to items in the Product Backlog is refinement, whether it takes place in a meeting or whether it's work done by an individual outside of a meeting.
