The agent starts with competitive positioning research: what perspective does each major competitor hold, what conventional wisdom is dominant in your category, and where is there a credible contrarian argument to be made? It develops a core category narrative — the 'before and after' of what the market believed and what your company is arguing it should believe instead. This isn't manufactured controversy — it's a defensible, evidence-backed claim about why the old way of doing something is broken and why the category your product occupies is the structural alternative.

With the core narrative defined, the agent generates regular opinion pieces that reinforce and develop the category argument: 800–1,200 word pieces written in a specific executive voice that argue a specific aspect of the narrative. Each piece is written to be a standalone compelling read — not a summary of existing blog content — with a clear, potentially controversial opening claim, a structured argument, and a conclusion that reinforces the category positioning. These are the pieces that get shared by practitioners and cited in industry conversations.

Framework documents are thought leadership with staying power — named models, matrices, and systems that become the vocabulary practitioners use to discuss your category. The agent designs a framework from your core narrative: a named model (like 'The Enrichment Waterfall' or 'The Signal Stack'), a visual representation, and a document explaining how it works and why it matters. When your framework is cited by analysts and shared among practitioners, you own the category conversation — because you defined the terms.

A strong point of view only builds authority through consistent repetition across channels. The agent takes each thought leadership piece and generates a distribution package: a LinkedIn post version (narrative and hook), a short-form Twitter thread, an email newsletter version, a podcast talking-point outline, and a suggested speaking topic brief for conferences. The same argument reaches different audiences through different formats — and the consistency of the perspective across channels is what builds the 'company that has a view' perception over time.
