2. **Outline** – Executive summary, background, methodology, findings, recommendations, CTA.
3. **Research Layer** – cite third-party analysts, customer benchmarks, proprietary data.
4. **Design Considerations** – include charts, call-out boxes, and glossary; ensure accessibility.
5. **Peer Review** – involve product/legal SMEs for accuracy.

## Templates
- Draft manuscript with references + citations.

- Campaign kit (landing page copy, nurture email, social teasers).

## Tips
- Maintain a citation log to accelerate compliance reviews.
