Workflow

1. Define the audience, author topic territory, and business or career goal.
2. Gather idea sources: audience questions, search prompts, industry news, hashtags, event notes, comments, customer language, and owned expertise.
3. Convert sources into post hypotheses, not just titles.
4. Prioritize by audience relevance, author credibility, freshness, effort, and test value.
5. Return a content backlog with post jobs, draft angles, assets, and test notes.

Quality Bar

• Do not generate generic topics without audience pain, question, or context.
• Keep ideas tied to the author's topic territory.
• Include enough angle detail that a post can be drafted immediately.
• Prefer a small backlog of strong testable ideas over a long list of slogans.
