## Process

### 1. Load Context

- Read research output from `output/[business-name]/1-research/research-output.json`
- Read architecture output from `output/[business-name]/2-architecture/architecture-output.json`
- Read brand voice guidelines from `shared/my.voice.md`
- Review email frameworks in `shared/examples/email-sequences.md`

### 2. Write Quiz Copy

**Intro Screen:**
- Headline: Promise a specific outcome (use psychological angles)
- Subheadline: Time to complete + what they'll learn
- Start button: Action-oriented, not "Submit"

**Question Copy:**
- Transform architecture questions into conversational copy
- Add helper text where questions might confuse
- Answer options should be specific, not generic
- Keep answer text under 10 words each
- Questions should flow naturally (not feel like interrogation)

**Progress Messages:**
- 3-4 encouraging messages shown between questions
- Reference what they're learning about themselves
- Build anticipation for results

**Email Incentive:**
- Short value-proposition line displayed above the email input field
- Explains WHY the user should enter their email (what they'll receive)
- Keep under 10 words, start with "So we can..." or similar framing
- Examples: "So we can send your personalized recommendations", "So we can deliver your custom training plan"

### 3. Write Result Pages (Archetype-Aware)

Read `results_archetype.type` from architecture output. Write result page copy that fits the selected archetype.

**For ALL archetypes, write per-profile:**
- `headline`: Profile-specific reveal headline (not temperature-specific)
- `subheadline`: Profile tagline
- `description`: 2-3 paragraphs explaining the profile, validating their situation
- `hidden_insight`: Surprise insight for the toggle/reveal section
- `value_ctas`: Temperature-keyed CTA text + URLs (hot=action, warm=resource, cold=education)

**Also write shared copy:**
- `temperature_headlines`: Temperature-specific headline variants (hot/warm/cold)
- `company_story`: 2-3 sentences about the brand (from research)
- `social_proof`: Testimonial or credibility statement (from research)

**Then write archetype-specific fields per profile:**

**If `scorecard`:**
- `key_insight`: 2-3 sentences summarizing their radar chart results
- `tips`: 3 actionable, profile-specific recommendations

**If `style_profile`:**
- `style_dna_blurb`: 2-3 sentences about their style identity ("You gravitate toward...")
- `curated_picks`: 3 product/collection recommendations (name + 1-sentence description)
- `share_text`: Pre-filled social share copy ("I got [Profile Name]! Take the quiz to find yours...")

**If `pathway`:**
- `stage_position`: Which stage number they're at (from architecture pathway stages)
- `stage_name`: Human-readable stage label
- `strength_card`: Their strongest area (title + description)
- `growth_card`: Their biggest growth opportunity (title + description)
- `next_steps`: 3 ordered action items (specific to their stage, not generic)

**If `archetype_reveal`:**
- `identity_narrative`: 2-3 paragraphs written as "What makes you a [Profile Name]"
- `trait_labels`: 3-5 trait names for the badge grid (e.g., "Bold", "Curious", "Connector")
- `famous_matches`: 2-3 relatable references ("You're in good company with...")
- `share_text`: Pre-filled social share copy

**If `diagnostic`:**
- `priority_explanation`: Why their lowest-scoring dimension matters most
- `strengths_summary`: Their top 2 dimensions highlighted
- `action_plan`: 3 prioritized fixes ranked by impact (not generic tips)

**CTA rules (all archetypes):**
- Hot: Direct to booking/demo/purchase, emphasize quick wins
- Warm: Offer resource/guide, build trust first
- Cold: Educational content, value-first, long-term nurture
- NEVER show prices, plan names, or dollar amounts

### 4. Write Landing Page

Reference: `shared/examples/landing-pages.md`

**Above the fold:**
- **Eyebrow/Badge:** Short context label (2-5 words max) that appears ABOVE the headline - sets expectations before reading
  - Patterns: Time-based ("60-Second Quiz"), Type-based ("Free Assessment"), Benefit-based ("Instant Results")
  - Examples by business type:
    - Consumer: "Flavor Quiz", "Style Finder", "Quick Match"
    - B2B: "Growth Assessment", "ROI Calculator", "Readiness Test"
    - Services: "Free Estimate Quiz", "Compatibility Test", "Quick Assessment"
  - Use lead magnet type from research recommendations
  - **NOT a sentence** - just a badge-style label
  - Avoid: vague terms ("Discover More"), salesy language ("Amazing Free Tool"), complete sentences
- Headline: Primary benefit (use SEO research for keywords)
- Subheadline: Secondary benefit or objection handler
- Opening copy: 2-3 sentences that identify the problem
- CTA button: Specific action + time commitment

**Benefits section:**
- 3-5 benefits from taking the quiz
- Focus on what they learn, not what you offer

**Social proof:**
- If available, include number of people who've taken it
- Or industry credibility statement

**Meta tags:**
- Use SEO research for title and description
- Include primary keyword in both

### 5. Write Email Sequences (26 emails)

Reference: `shared/examples/email-sequences.md`

Write 26 emails across 5 sequences with layered personalization:
- **Temperature** controls which sequence track (existing)
- **Profile** controls content blocks within shared templates (new - `{{profile_block}}`)
- **Quiz answers** control callback snippets at key moments (new - `{{answer_callback_1}}`, `{{answer_callback_2}}`)

**Sequence 1: Welcome (3 emails, all leads)**
| Email ID | Day | Purpose | Profile Block | Answer Callback |
|----------|-----|---------|---------------|-----------------|
| WELCOME-01 | 0 | Results + blindspot reveal | Yes (blindspot) | No |
| WELCOME-02 | 2 | #1 obstacle + actionable tip | Yes (tip) | Yes (current_situation) |
| WELCOME-03 | 5 | Soft offer intro | No | No |

**Sequence 2: Cold Nurture (7 emails, score 0-49)**
| Email ID | Day | Purpose | Profile Block | Answer Callback |
|----------|-----|---------|---------------|-----------------|
| COLD-01 | 1 | Education Part 1 + "you mentioned..." | No | Yes (current_situation) |
| COLD-02 | 3 | Education Part 2 | No | No |
| COLD-03 | 5 | Common myths debunked | No | No |
| COLD-04 | 8 | Problem education (hidden costs) | Yes (profile-specific pain) | No |
| COLD-05 | 12 | Micro case study | Yes (profile-matched story) | No |
| COLD-06 | 17 | "What changes when you solve this" | Yes (profile-specific vision) | Yes (desired_outcome) |
| COLD-07 | 23 | Soft check-in + offer | No | No |

**Sequence 3: Warm Activation (6 emails, score 50-79)**
| Email ID | Day | Purpose | Profile Block | Answer Callback |
|----------|-----|---------|---------------|-----------------|
| WARM-01 | 1 | "Based on your answers..." opener | No | Yes (current_situation) |
| WARM-02 | 3 | Case study | Yes (profile-matched story) | No |
| WARM-03 | 5 | Objection handler | Yes (profile-specific objection) | No |
| WARM-04 | 8 | Social proof compilation | No | No |
| WARM-05 | 11 | Clear offer with options | No | Yes (desired_outcome) |
| WARM-06 | 15 | Before/after comparison | Yes (profile-specific transformation) | No |

**Sequence 4: Hot Path (4 emails, score 80-100)**
| Email ID | Day | Purpose | Profile Block | Answer Callback |
|----------|-----|---------|---------------|-----------------|
| HOT-01 | 1 | Direct CTA + answer-specific hook | No | Yes (current_situation) |
| HOT-02 | 3 | Fast-track case study | Yes (profile-matched story) | No |
| HOT-03 | 6 | Urgency/scarcity play | No | No |
| HOT-04 | 9 | Final push | No | Yes (desired_outcome) |

**Sequence 5: Re-Engagement (3 emails, all leads post-sequence)**
| Email ID | Day | Purpose | Profile Block | Answer Callback |
|----------|-----|---------|---------------|-----------------|
| REENGAGE-01 | +3 | "Still thinking about this?" | No | No |
| REENGAGE-02 | +10 | New angle / fresh resource | Yes (profile-specific resource) | No |
| REENGAGE-03 | +17 | Last chance + value recap | No | No |

Re-Engagement timing is relative to end of temperature sequence:
- Cold: Days 26, 33, 40
- Warm: Days 18, 25, 32
- Hot: Days 12, 19, 26

#### 5a. Email Template Rules

For emails with `{{profile_block}}`:
- Write a natural paragraph break where the block will be inserted
- The email should read fine even if the block resolves to empty string
- Mark the insertion point clearly in the template body

For emails with `{{answer_callback_1}}` or `{{answer_callback_2}}`:
- `answer_callback_1` maps to the `current_situation` diagnostic question
- `answer_callback_2` maps to the `desired_outcome` diagnostic question
- Write a generic fallback sentence at each callback point (used if lookup fails)
- The callback should flow naturally within the surrounding paragraph

#### 5b. Write Profile Content Blocks

For each email marked "Profile Block: Yes" above, write one content block per profile archetype (from architecture output).

Each block: 1-3 sentences that reference the profile's specific situation, pain point, or success vision. Tone must match the parent email.

#### 5c. Write Answer Callback Snippets

Read the `diagnostic_questions` array from architecture output. For each email marked "Answer Callback: Yes", write a 1-2 sentence callback for EVERY possible answer to the referenced diagnostic question.

**Pattern:** "You mentioned [paraphrase of their answer]. [Insight or connection to email topic]."

**Quality rules for callbacks:**
- Paraphrase the answer, don't quote it verbatim
- Connect it to the email's topic naturally
- Add an insight or implication they haven't considered
- Keep it to 1-2 sentences (it's a moment, not a paragraph)
- Never say "Based on your quiz answers" or "Your quiz results showed"

**Good:** "You mentioned your team spends 10+ hours a week on manual follow-ups. Here's the thing about that number - it only grows as you add clients."

**Bad (robotic):** "Based on your answer of '10+ hours per week on repetitive tasks', we recommend automation."

**Bad (vague):** "Based on what you shared with us, you might benefit from streamlining."

### 6. Apply Brand Voice

For ALL copy:
- Match tone from brand_voice_analysis
- Use key_phrases where natural
- Avoid everything in the avoid list
- Write like talking to a small business owner, not an agency
- No em dashes
- Short sentences, clear thoughts
- Specific over generic

### 7. Quality Check

Run through checklist before saving output.
