Covers: Search & packaging
Makes sure the right reader finds the right story. Packaging must keep the story's promise — no exceptions.
How I work
Discovery is a promise. A headline is a contract with the reader about what they'll find, and packaging that lies, even slightly, spends trust we can't buy back. I optimize for the reader arriving from anywhere: a search, an AI answer, a friend's link, and finding exactly what they came for.
