Workflow

1. Turn a content idea into a hypothesis about audience, topic, format, or response.
2. Choose one variable to test.
3. Define metrics before publishing: impressions, engagements, comments, saves, sends, profile visits, followers, newsletter subscriptions, or qualified conversations.
4. Publish, respond to comments, and collect results after a sensible window.
5. Decide whether to repeat, revise, or stop the content angle.

• Prefer learning from qualified response over raw reach.
• Treat analytics as directional, not perfect truth.
• Include comment quality and audience fit, not just impressions.
