What you receive
- Insight extraction: identify the strongest opinion, original framework, practical observation, story, and tension in the interview. Quote the transcript as evidence.
- Thesis choice: select the one argument the executive is most credible to make. Save other interesting ideas for separate articles.
- Voice profile: summarize sentence rhythm, directness, preferred examples, certainty, humor, and words the executive naturally uses.
- Article structure: build a narrative around the practical problem, mistaken assumption, evidence or experience, better way to think, and what leaders should do next.
- Full draft: write a publication-ready article in the executive's voice. Keep the company secondary unless its experience directly supports the point.
- Verification notes: flag every story, statistic, customer reference, or market claim needing confirmation.
- Voice audit: identify any paragraph that sounds like corporate communications rather than the executive. Rewrite it with more natural syntax and practitioner detail.
Quality checks
- Do not invent personal experiences, opinions, customer stories, or quotes. If the interview lacks a defensible argument, recommend a follow-up interview.
- Rule: a byline should reveal what the executive understands from experience, not what the company wants the market to hear.
