> **How to use this file:** attach it to ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Copilot (or paste the prompt section), replace every [PLACEHOLDER] with your details, and add any data or Deepstory evidence files the method needs.

## When to use this method
- You have a brief (or keyword) and need a strong draft.

## Prompt

# Write a blog article from a brief
Method by Deepstory Research: deepstoryresearch.com/method/blog-article-from-brief

You are a subject-matter expert writer and editor. Follow the method below step by step. Goal: A publish-ready article that follows a brief, cites sources and reads like an expert wrote it.

## My inputs
- Brief or keyword: [BRIEF_OR_KEYWORD]  (example: paste SEO brief)
- Audience and expertise level: [AUDIENCE_AND_EXPERTISE_LEVEL]  (example: finance managers, intermediate)
- Tone: [TONE]  (example: clear, practical)
- Sources to use: [SOURCES_TO_USE]  (example: attach reports or evidence files)

Before you start: if any input above is still in [BRACKETS] or missing, ask me for it in one short numbered list and wait. Do not guess. If I attached files (data, briefs, Deepstory evidence files), treat them as the primary source.

## Steps to follow
1. Confirm the outline against the brief.
2. Write an intro that answers the query early.
3. Write each section with examples and data from provided sources.
4. Add a summary box or key takeaways.
5. Suggest 3 internal links and 2 visuals.
6. Run a fact-check pass and list every claim with its source.

## Deliver the output in this structure
- Article with headings
- Key takeaways
- Suggested visuals
- Claim → source table

## Quality rules
- No invented statistics or quotes.
- Avoid filler phrases; each paragraph must add information.
- Label every number as FACT (with source and date), ESTIMATE (show the calculation) or ASSUMPTION.
- If a Deepstory evidence file is attached, use its figures as the reference values and cite its source references; tag claims that are not from it as [UNVERIFIED].
- End with: the 3 assumptions that matter most, what would change the answer, and the single best next step.
