What This Guide Is For
This framework is your repeatable system for producing Process/Methodology content — "Our [Topic] Framework", "The [Name] Method for [Goal]". The core value is a named, replicable system. Unlike a how-to (which teaches one task), a process framework provides a complete methodology the reader can adopt — with a clear name, defined phases, and decision rules.
What the reader needs: A structured, named methodology they can adopt. Each phase has clear inputs, actions, outputs, and transition criteria to the next phase.
What the writer must deliver: A named process, visualized with a flowchart, broken into 3–7 sequential phases, each with clear inputs/outputs and decision criteria.
This format targets Informational intent (MOFU) at roughly 0.5% of demand. It creates branded intellectual property — a framework with a name becomes citable and shareable.

The Phase Template
- Template
- Bad vs. Good
## Phase [N]: [Phase Name]
**Purpose:** [What this phase accomplishes]
**Duration:** [Expected time]
**Inputs:** [What you need to start]
**Actions:**
1. [Step]
2. [Step]
3. [Step]
**Outputs:** [What you produce]
**Quality gate:** [How you know this phase is done]
**Move to next phase when:** [Transition criteria]
| Bad | Good | |
|---|---|---|
| Phase | "Do research" | "Phase 1: Discovery — Audit existing content, map competitor positioning, identify 3 content gaps" |
| Transition | Missing | "Move to Phase 2 when: Gap analysis document complete with 3+ validated opportunities and stakeholder sign-off" |

Quick Reference Card
| Phase | Key Rule |
|---|---|
| Before writing | Name the framework. Visualize the phases as a flowchart first |
| While writing | Each phase: inputs + actions + outputs + quality gate + transition |
| Before submitting | Named, visualized, phased, with transition criteria and limitations |
| Working with AI | AI structures phases well; you define the quality gates and transition criteria |
