---

Example 1: Landing Page Hero

content_purpose:
  content_type: "Landing page hero section"

  purpose_statement: "Hook Problem Aware hairdressers by validating their frustration and promising transformation"

  audience:
    who: "Harriet (hairdresser, ambitious, small-town)"
    state: "Problem Aware - feels behind when clients ask about trends"
    context: "Landing on site from Google search or Instagram ad"

  success_criteria:
    - "User immediately recognizes themselves in the problem"
    - "User feels validated, not alone"
    - "User wants to continue reading (doesn't bounce)"

  model_priorities:
    primary: ["Customer Awareness ⭐⭐⭐", "Golden Circle ⭐⭐⭐"]
    secondary: ["Badass Users ⭐⭐", "Trigger Map ⭐⭐"]
    tertiary: ["Action Mapping ⭐"]

  review_question: "Does a Problem Aware hairdresser feel seen and want to learn more?"

Analysis:

• Specific audience state: Problem Aware (not just "hairdressers")
• Measurable outcome: "Recognizes themselves" and "doesn't bounce"
• Model priority: Customer Awareness and Golden Circle emphasized for landing page hook
• Testable: Can observe if users recognize themselves and continue reading

    context: "Just clicked submit and saw error"

  success_criteria:
    - "User understands what's wrong"
    - "User knows exactly how to fix it"
    - "User doesn't feel stupid or blamed"
    - "User successfully resubmits"

  model_priorities:
    primary: ["Badass Users ⭐⭐⭐", "Action Mapping ⭐⭐⭐"]
    secondary: ["Customer Awareness ⭐"]
    tertiary: ["Golden Circle ⭐", "Trigger Map ⭐"]

  review_question: "Can user fix error quickly without feeling frustrated?"

    context: "In active comparison mode, possibly has competitor tab open"

  success_criteria:
    - "User understands the 3x advantage"
    - "User connects longer shelf life to personal benefit (saves money/waste)"
    - "User sees this as competitive advantage worth paying for"

  model_priorities:
    primary: ["Trigger Map ⭐⭐⭐", "Badass Users ⭐⭐"]
    secondary: ["Action Mapping ⭐⭐", "Customer Awareness ⭐"]
    tertiary: ["Golden Circle ⭐"]
