How to read the output
Decision
Proceed, pivot, or kill — before anyone spends time writing. The cheapest place to stop is here.
Reasoning
Why that call: demand, differentiation, and whether your existing content already owns the angle.
Overlap
Where the angle collides with something you have already published — the cannibalization check.
The terms it uses
- Whitespace
- A question your buyers ask that credible content has not covered — the gap worth writing into.
- Cannibalization
- Two pieces competing for the same question, so neither ranks and neither is the definitive answer.
- Pivot
- The topic is good but the angle is wrong — keep the subject, change the claim.
How it stays honest
Every agent separates what it measured from your data from what it inferred. You always know which is which.
Measured
- ✓Topic + angle (as provided)
- ✓Overlap with your content map (computed)
Inferred
- ~Proceed / pivot / kill
- ~Reasoning
Questions people ask
Why would it kill an idea I like?+
Because writing an angle you already own, or that nobody is asking about, is the most expensive way to waste a week. It kills early and cheaply.
