Commence with the End in Mind

Describe the end object as the original does, then use the platform to improve the inputs and the destination. Attach the source rather than pasting it - and where an interview is concerned, attach the recording instead of the transcript, since emphasis tells you which claim the scientist leans on and a transcript flattens that. Send the finished artefact to a Doc or Sheet where it will actually be used and commented on.

• Attach the source; attach the recording over the transcript.
• Tell it not to search when the output must use only your data.
• Keep search-grounded notes in a separate marked section.
• Send the deliverable to the Doc others will comment in.
• Save a recurring form and its rules as a Gem.

### THE FINISHED OUTPUT ###

Exactly five bullet points. Each a complete sentence of 25 to 35 words, serious in tone. Test they must pass: a reader who has not seen the interview could explain the scientist's position accurately from the bullets alone. Positions taken, not topics touched on.

### THE SOURCE ###

An interview with a leading climate scientist, covering rising sea levels, carbon capture technology, and policy recommendations. Spoken speech, so expect digressions and throwaway interviewer questions.

Attach the transcript as a file or Drive link rather than pasting it - and if you have the recording, attach the audio or video instead and work from that. Tone and emphasis carry information the transcript loses, and which claim the scientist leans on hardest is exactly the thing a flat transcript flattens.

### METHOD ###

Read it all before writing. Strongest claim on each of the three threads, plus the two most significant things said outside them. Do not split the five evenly if the interview does not.

### THEN, SEPARATELY ###

* "Left out" - the most significant thing dropped.
* "Over-certainty" - anything said tentatively that a bullet makes sound firmer. Check your own bullets against the transcript's hedging.
* Under a heading clearly marked "From Search, not the interview" - use Google Search to check whether anything the scientist said has been superseded, and give the interview's apparent date and the date of each item found. Keep this strictly out of the five bullets.

Put the five bullets into a Google Doc called "Climate interview - summary" with the search-grounded notes in a separate section below a horizontal rule.

### THE FINISHED OBJECT ###

A 14-line sonnet. Shakespearean form: three quatrains plus a couplet, ABAB CDCD EFEF GG, iambic pentameter throughout. Early modern diction - thou, thy, doth - consistently, not sprinkled. Volta at line 9. The closing couplet resolves the conceit rather than restating the opening.

### SUBJECT ###

A modern smartphone as a marvel. Praise two features: the camera as an "all-seeing eye", the long battery as a "tireless heart".

### CONSTRAINT ###

Shakespeare had no word for a phone, a battery, a photograph or a screen. None of those words may appear. The device exists only through metaphor and period-plausible language.

### BEFORE YOU WRITE ###

Search for the formal rules of the Shakespearean sonnet as authoritative sources state them - rhyme scheme, metre, the function of the volta - and cite them. Then write to those rules rather than to a general impression of what a sonnet sounds like. Report in one line any way my brief above contradicts what you found.

### AFTER THE POEM ###

1. Scansion note - every line where the metre is imperfect or forced, named honestly. Do not present a rough poem as clean.
2. Anachronism check - any word or concept Shakespeare could not have used.
3. Weakest line, and why.

### SAVE ###

Save the form rules, the diction constraint and the scansion-honesty requirement as a Gem called "Sonnet form" - next time I should only have to name the subject.

### PERSONA ###

A financial journalist writing for a business publication.

### DATA - the only permitted source ###

* Company: Innovate Hyderabad
* Quarter: Q3 2025
* Units sold: 50,000
* Quarter-over-quarter growth: +20% against Q2
* Main competitor (Zenith Corp) units sold: 45,000

### THE FINISHED OUTPUT ###

A news report of approximately 150 words for business readers. Optimistic in tone, factual in substance - the optimism comes from framing, not added adjectives. Headline, lead sentence carrying the news, supporting detail, then competitive context.

### DATA DISCIPLINE - important on this platform ###

Do not use Google Search for this report, and do not ground it in anything you find. Innovate Hyderabad and Zenith Corp are the companies in my data; if you search, you will find unrelated firms with similar names and the report will quietly acquire facts I did not give you. Use the five data points and nothing else.

Specifically: no invented revenue, market share, headcount, product names or executive quotes. Q2 units are not given, so do not state them. "Market leadership" is unsupported - 50,000 against one competitor's 45,000 says nothing about the market. You may write that the company outsold Zenith Corp this quarter; you may not write that it leads the market.

### OUTPUT ###

Put the headline and report into a Google Doc called "Innovate Hyderabad Q3 report" for my editor to comment on.

In the chat, not the Doc: a claims audit listing every factual claim in the report against the data point it rests on, flagging any claim that does not map to one.
