+## When to Use
+- Deep-dives for regulated or technical buyers (finance, healthcare, energy).
+- Support ABM campaigns with detailed solution explainers.
+- Repurpose product research into demand-gen anchors.
+
+## Framework
+1. **Audience & Compliance** – confirm regulatory constraints, required disclaimers, reading level.
+2. **Outline** – Executive summary, background, methodology, findings, recommendations, CTA.
+3. **Research Layer** – cite third-party analysts, customer benchmarks, proprietary data.
+4. **Design Considerations** – include charts, call-out boxes, and glossary; ensure accessibility.
+5. **Peer Review** – involve product/legal SMEs for accuracy.
+
+## Templates
+- Draft manuscript with references + citations.
+- Data appendix or methodology section.
+- Design brief with layout guidance.
+- Campaign kit (landing page copy, nurture email, social teasers).
+
+## Tips
+- Maintain a citation log to accelerate compliance reviews.
+- Use modular sections so data refreshes don’t require full rewrites.
+- Pair launch with derivative assets (blogs, webinars) to extend shelf life.
+- Version-control legal-approved language for regulated industries.
