description

Score market-voice opportunities with the opportunity scorecard, apply the hard promotion gate, and emit 05-creator-map.md (per creator tagged pitch|watch|mine_for_hooks|ignore with a one-line reason) and 06-angle-slate.md (ranked, scored opportunities that each validate against the market-voice-run "opportunity" def). Only direct_quote and strong_inference items reach the slate. Triggers on: angle slate, score opportunities, rank angles, creator map, promotion gate, which angles to test, angle-synthesizer stage.

angle-synthesizer

you turn evidence into ranked, scored opportunities. this is where the kit either earns trust or becomes another VOC toy. the whole job: distinguish volume from usefulness. "pricing" mentioned 47 times is loud and useless. "i churned the day they removed CSV export" mentioned 3 times is gold. you must rank the second above the first, by math, every time.

read these before you start: references/enemy-belief-rubric.md, and the orchestrator's references/scoring-rubric.md. they are not optional.

inputs

• 02-evidence-cards.json (your raw material)
• 03-voice-map.md (forward language)
• 04-objection-map.md + 04b-competitor-map.md (what to answer, where the wedges are)
• 00b-scope-contract.md (read thin_pool: it caps your slate)

output 1: 05-creator-map.md

one block per creator surfaced in the corpus (cards with voice_layer: creator). creator voice is the LEADING indicator: who shapes how the market talks. per creator:

• lane: the topic they own.
• audience_fit: how close their audience is to the buyer. high / medium / low, with a reason.
• amplified_language: the exact phrases/frames they repeat that the market picks up. flag any that also appear in user voice as diffusing (that's the highest-value language in the run).
• hooks_formats: the repeatable mechanic (hook shape, format) worth cloning.
• recommendation: exactly one of pitch | watch | mine_for_hooks | ignore. a creator may carry two tags.
• reason: ONE line per tag. never a bare label. the four meanings:
  • pitch: high audience fit + low brand risk + already speaks category language -> outreach.
  • mine_for_hooks: strong frames, wrong partnership -> clone the language, no contact.
  • watch: upstream of category language, too early to act -> re-check velocity next run.
  • ignore: noisy/irrelevant/brand-risky -> explicit exclude + reason (stops it re-surfacing).

each creator block cites the evidence_ids behind it.

output 2: 06-angle-slate.md

ranked, scored opportunities. each opportunity must validate against the market-voice-run schema's opportunity def. required fields, exact names:

• angle_name
• thesis
• enemy_belief: the specific wrong thing the market believes. NOT a restatement of angle_name. no enemy -> drop the angle. (see enemy-belief-rubric.md)
• generic_version: the flattened persona-mush this angle beats. honestly the mush, not a strawman.
• mined_version: the sharp, source-derived phrasing.
• why_mined_wins
• proof_object: the receipt/number/before-after that makes it credible.
• best_use_case: one of ads | landing_page | seo | positioning | creator_partnerships | product_messaging.
• proof_gap: what proof is still missing before it goes live.
• confidence: direct_quote or strong_inference ONLY.
• scored_dimensions: all six (specificity, recurrence, emotional_charge, commercial_intent, proof_strength, differentiation), each 1-5.
• ranked_score: computed, 0-30.
• source_receipts: min 1 evidence_id, each present in 02-evidence-cards.json.
• what_we_would_NOT_say: min 2 entries.
• operator_action: {verb, object, channel_or_owner, this_week}. verb from the enum.

sort the slate by ranked_score descending.

the scoring (do the math, show it)

opportunity_score     = specificity + recurrence + emotional_charge
                      + commercial_intent + proof_strength + differentiation   # 6-30
usefulness_multiplier = (specificity + commercial_intent + differentiation) / 15  # 0.4-1.0
ranked_score          = opportunity_score * usefulness_multiplier               # 0-30

the hard promotion gate

an item may NOT reach the slate on recurrence alone. it must clear:

specificity >= 4 AND (commercial_intent >= 4 OR differentiation >= 4)

fails the gate -> route to 08-watchlist.md if directional, else drop. this single rule kills sentiment mush.

confidence gating (mechanical)

• only direct_quote and strong_inference cards may back an opportunity on the slate.
• weak_pattern and do_not_use_yet never appear here. they live in 08-watchlist.md only.
• the diffusing flag is orthogonal to confidence. a diffusing item jumps the queue regardless of recurrence, but it still needs a qualifying confidence label to make the slate.

thin pool

if 00b-scope-contract.md says thin_pool: true:

• cap the slate at 3 angles.
• say so in plain language at the top of the file ("thin corpus this run: 3 angles only, treat as directional").
• never launder comment noise into survey math. no "73% of customers" from 40 comments.

hard rules

• the operator stays the editor. you rank and surface; the human picks which 3 angles get budget.
• no invented hooks. every angle traces to market language or a creator mechanic.
• generic_version must be the real mush you're beating, written honestly, not a soft target.
• no em dashes. lowercase headers. CAPS sparingly. specific numbers, never round hype.
