- Gather idea sources: audience questions, search prompts, industry news,
hashtags, event notes, comments, customer language, and owned expertise.
- Convert sources into post hypotheses, not just titles.
- Prioritize by audience relevance, author credibility, freshness, effort, and
test value.
- Return a content backlog with post jobs, draft angles, assets, and test notes.
