Comment on industry news without hot-take energy

What you need: The news in one sentence (with a source if it's not common knowledge yet), your specific credibility anchor on it (something you've shipped, lived through, or watched up close — the reason the take is YOURS to write), who reads this and what they need to decide based on the news, the adjacent trend or pattern most commentators won't pair this with (your integrative angle), and the ragebait version of the take you're refusing to make so you can explicitly leave it out.

How to use: If you've already built your business profile (see "Start here") and saved it as a Claude Project / Custom GPT / Gemini Gem — open that and paste this prompt inside. The AI will use your profile context and skip questions about your background and audience. If not, paste into any fresh AI chat. The AI interviews you across 5 questions, then produces the post in six sections: the assessment, three calibrated takes (operator / contrarian-but-defensible / integrative), your specific angle, the ragebait lanes you're refusing, and a single-observation close. Pin it for the week. Reply to substantive comments with the specific work you're doing — don't argue meta-takes in the thread.
