Topic-Coach · pre-flight feedback on your topic
The small advisor that reads your topic before you click Generate.
As you type your topic in the wizard, a small coach evaluates it and responds within a second. Three possible verdicts:
- Ship it. Your topic is specific enough for the pipeline to work from. You'll see a green check.
- Refine. The topic is workable but vague; the coach offers up to two concrete suggestions to tighten it. "Add a protagonist name", "specify which decade", etc.
- Too vague. The topic is too broad for a pipeline run to produce a specific exposé. The coach suggests angles or protagonists that would narrow it.
The coach is advisory only. It never blocks the Continue button. If you disagree with its verdict, keep going. your pitch, your call.
Why it exists: the single biggest driver of exposé quality is topic specificity. A vague topic produces a vague exposé no matter how good the pipeline is. The coach catches this upstream, before you spend twelve minutes generating something that was doomed at the first step.
