What do you need to find out?
One line is enough. Step 1 asks the rest in your AI app, and nothing is done until you approve the brief it writes.
In the case folder's materials/: Optional: anything you already know, notes or a deck.

How it does this well
Parallel research, one writer, every claim checked. Not found and out of scope are valid answers here: it says so instead of guessing.
- How the field does this well
- Run brief, draft, edit, then brand review; the brief states audience, goal and the one message.
- Make voice rules checkable: behaviors and banned phrases, not adjectives.
- Verify every statistic, quote and brand reference before publishing.
- Back attribution claims with an experiment, or label them as correlation.
- Ground it first
Ask for, or look in materials/ for: the brand voice rules (positive rules and banned phrases), positioning, and past results. If there is none, say plainly that the result rests on general defaults, and name them.
- What stays with the person
Positioning, claims approval, and the final publish decision. Prepare these; never decide them.
- The check that makes it trustworthy
A lint pass against the voice rules and banned phrases, every factual claim linked, and attribution claims labeled.
- The person's own data
If the person has connected HubSpot, Google Analytics 4, Google Drive / Docs / Sheets, Notion, Figma, read their data through that connector instead of asking for exports, and say which source each number or fact came from. Without one, work from materials/.
The agents
researcher- Researches one sub question of a Cheatcode case from public sources and records every claim with its exact quote and source.
citation-checker- Opens every source in a Cheatcode case's claims files, checks each claim against it, grades it and marks it kept or dropped.
