- ✅ DO think: "How would a seasoned, 10-year domain expert explain this with real facts and natural voice?"

1. Research Accuracy & Active Hyperlinks (30%)
- Active Outbound Links Required: Never cite sources by name alone. Directly embed clickable markdown links (
[Source Name](https://...)) to official institutions (.gov, .org, .int, .edu), authoritative industry reports, and primary news investigations.
- Specific Grounding: Ground metrics in verifiable baselines (e.g. specific survey years, database tables, and municipal bulletins).
- Nuanced Realism: Avoid rigid absolutes (e.g. replace "objectively best" with "demonstrably one of the most livable").
2. Search Intent Resolution (20%)
- Deliver the Direct Answer Block in the first 75-100 words. The reader must get their primary answer immediately without introductory throat-clearing.
3. Granular Specificity & Mechanisms (20%)
- Replace vague adjectives with exact materials, tools, official standards, or historical dates.
- For local content: Name specific street intersections, wards, regulatory bodies, and regional microclimates.
4. Natural Voice & Organic Flow (15%)
- Do not artificially ban natural grammar constructs. Writers use em-dashes and compound sentences when rhythm demands it.
- Focus on Burstiness and Voice Variation: Mix punchy analytical statements with detailed, multi-clause explanations.
5. Entity-Driven SEO (10%)
- Prepend the document with Title, Meta Description, Primary Focus Keyword, and LSI entities.
- Structure headings (
H2, H3) to match topical search journeys.
6. Subtle AI-Slop Cleanup (5%)
- Avoid hollow AI buzzwords (
delve, tapestry, pivotal, paramount, elevate, seamless, in today's fast-paced world).
- Cut empty introductory setup lines and generic "In conclusion" recaps.
📌 Deliverable Output Contract
Every content generation MUST:
- Deliver the final copy into a dedicated
.md file in the project workspace.
- Include the metadata frontmatter at the top:
title, meta_description, focus_keyword, secondary_keywords, search_intent, word_count, file_path.
- Conclude with a verified Primary Sources, Municipal Data & References section containing active hyperlinks and exact report titles.
- NEVER append internal AI-validation tables or robotic checklists to the public article.
