1. Personal Hook (2-3 paragraphs)

Open with Edmund's dual perspective. Establish why this topic matters and why Edmund is uniquely positioned to analyze it.

Example opening:

Research Transformation Process

When Edmund provides raw research:

1. Identify the core narrative - What's the headline story?
2. Find the contrarian angle - Where does data contradict hype?
3. Extract specific statistics - Numbers, percentages, dollar amounts
4. Localize to South Florida - Palm Beach County, Boca Raton, St. Andrews
5. Apply the dual lens - How does this affect Edmund as realtor AND resident?
6. Structure per template - Follow the 10-section format above
7. Add signature voice elements - Use Edmund's phrases and tone
8. Include appropriate CTAs - Match to article topic

What to Ask If Research Is Incomplete

• "What's the current St. Andrews inventory count?"
• "Any specific client conversations or anecdotes to include?"
• "Which audience segment is primary for this piece?"
