A content brief is not “write an article.” It converts HaloX evidence into the inputs needed to create content that answer engines can reuse: **definitions, criteria, comparisons, FAQs, evidence URLs, and internal links**.

## Copyable brief

```md theme={null}

## How to pull inputs from HaloX

<Steps>
  <Step title="1. Pick the cluster in Strategy Map">
    Use list, matrix, and network views to choose the cluster for this week. Copy its priority, competitor gap, and opportunity signal into the brief.
  </Step>

  <Step title="2. Attach real prompts from Prompt Analysis">
    Copy questions where the brand is missing, competitors are stronger, or citations are absent. These become H2s, FAQs, and comparison sections.
  </Step>

  <Step title="3. Add evidence from Citation Tracking and Evidence Library">
    Separate URLs the AI already cites, official URLs you want cited, and Product/Topic claims from the Evidence Library.
  </Step>

  <Step title="4. Create the draft in Content Production">
    Paste the goal, questions, evidence, and guardrails into Content Production, then verify that definitions, tables, FAQs, and sources are present.
  </Step>
</Steps>
