Drives CQS ▼

These four fields are the primary drivers of CQS performance. A topic is not an argument. “AI adoption challenges” is a topic. “Most AI adoption failures are organizational design problems disguised as technology problems” is an argument.

Core Argument or Thesis The specific claim this piece makes. Not a topic. Not a question. A statement that someone could disagree with.

Why Now What is happening in the reader’s world right now that makes this argument urgent? Not theoretical. A specific event, shift, or pressure.

Target Reader Specific enough that the writer can make voice, depth, and framing decisions. Role, context, and current situation.

Desired Reader Outcome What the reader does, thinks, or decides differently after reading. Not “understand the landscape.” Something actionable.

Evidence and Grounding

Lens A + Lens B ▼

Sources the writer can build on. Thin evidence at the brief stage produces thin content at the draft stage. If you have gaps, the Briefing Assistant can help research.

Available Sources Links, research papers, reports, data sets, interviews, or internal documents the writer should use.

Evidence Gaps What data, examples, or research does this brief still need? These may trigger Stage 2a pre-production research.

Numerical Claims Requiring Verification Any specific figures, percentages, benchmarks, or statistics this piece will cite. These will be flagged for Gate 2 review.

Pillar and Distribution

▼

Content Pillar Which content pillar does this piece support? Content without a pillar assignment does not enter production.

Target Word Count Range is fine. Guides the writer and affects track selection.

Related Existing Content Links to or titles of existing pieces this builds on, responds to, or should reference.

Distribution Intent How this piece will be distributed. Affects post-production (DCP and DAA) planning.

Constraints and Notes

▼

Regulatory or Compliance Considerations Any legal, regulatory, or compliance issues the writer should be aware of. These may trigger Gate 2 conditional reviews.

Additional Notes for the Writer Anything else the writer needs to know. Tone preferences, angles to avoid, competitive context, internal sensitivities.
