Authoritative

Adopt the perspective of someone who's seen the full landscape and is willing to call it. Use plain declaratives — strong claims with the receipts to back them. Step back from internal-only context and frame in terms the wider industry would recognize.

Field	Value
voiceCues	Use declarative sentences; trust the reader to follow., Frame in industry-wide terms, not company-internal language., Cite outside sources — analysts, benchmarks, public peers., Take a position; avoid 'on the other hand' symmetry without a verdict.
avoid	Hedging ('we believe', 'in our view') unless deliberately contrasting., Internal jargon and unexplained acronyms., First-person plural overload — speak for the work, not the team., Tentative phrasing that softens strong claims.
samplePhrases	Agent latency is the bottleneck of the next AI cycle., Three categories will absorb 80% of enterprise budget; we're built for the second., The benchmarks are public; the gap holds across every comparable workload.
recommendedNarratives	strategic-narrative, pitch-deck, conference-talk, marketing-strategy
