{{project}} / publisher {{business}} / reviewer {{contact}} / version [ ]

Purpose: promise an inspectable unit of reader value at a sustainable cadence.
Reader role/situation [ ]; recurring task [ ]; specific problem/example [ ]; sources you can defend [ ].
Promise: Every [cadence], receive [format/one lesson] to help you [controllable task].
Boundary: topics, claims, and services not included [ ]; why your sources can support this promise [ ]. Avoid a guaranteed commercial outcome or expertise you do not possess.

Signup agreement ledger
Published wording/version [ ]; regular frequency [ ]; welcome/resource contents and timing [ ]; optional promotional purpose [ ]; consent/eligibility record [ ]; current suppression/withdrawal route [ ].
State the welcome sequence as well as regular issues before signup. Interview, purchase, or client contact permission is not automatically newsletter permission. The actual sending system and approved policy govern eligibility; this workbook is not a permission database.
Sample issue [exact version]; promised resource [exists/works]; sender identity/support [ ]; unsubscribe mechanism [working test]. Do not add unrelated or purchased contacts.

Capacity per issue: research [ ]; writing [ ]; factual/source review [ ]; formatting/testing [ ]; response reserve [ ]; total [ ]. Available hours over the four-issue period [ ]; setup/welcome hours separately [ ].
Choose cadence from actual capacity and rehearse one issue before promising it. Four fortnightly issues span eight weeks; do not squeeze them into a monthly review as four completed sends. Keep an evergreen backup and a truthful disruption plan.
Ready when: the first four topics all satisfy the same promise, the sample reflects delivered content, and the signup/sending arrangements match. Unresolved resource, eligibility, or capacity issue → hold the announcement or revise the actual promise before publishing.
