Dossier

Every other way in sends the desk out to find the story. This one does the opposite: you hand over the material and the desk writes from that and nothing else. No search runs.

Write the brief the way you would brief a person

The angle, the facts that matter, the points you want covered, in the order you want them. It sets the through-line and the outline is built around it. Length is not the point - specifics are.

Every brief needs about 75 words, with or without links. A thin brief buys invention wearing your framing, and attaching a page does not fix that; it only changes what gets invented around.

Attach up to 8 reference links

One full https:// address per box. These become the article's sources: they are fetched, read and cited, and they are never judged against the topic the way a search result is, because you chose them.

A link must be a full https:// address we can actually reach. A broken box stops the send rather than being dropped quietly, because an article written from one fewer source than you chose is worse than one that did not go.

Your brief is not a source

A fact you assert in the brief is written as yours, or left out. It never comes back wearing a citation. What is cited is what was read.

The links say what to write from; the brief says what to write.

With no links, nothing is source-backed

A brief-only article is written from the model's knowledge and your brief. We ask before that spend, every time, and the article carries a note saying so - on the panel, in the article, and in whatever you export or publish.

Then write it

The desk writes the headline. Your brief sets what the article says; it does not have to carry a title.
