Every scanned point with the score it earned and what moved between them.
First recorded scan — no prior version to compare against.
The primary manifest — the file an agent reads to learn what this artifact does.
Select the 3-5 strongest pull quotes from an article — the sentences or short passages that would stop a scanning reader and draw them into the full text, with a brief rationale for each selection.
Required: The full article text.
Optional: Number of quotes needed (default 3-5), whether quotes should be drawn from interview subjects only or may also include the author's own voice, maximum character length per quote (default: no limit), intended use (print pull quote, social media, newsletter highlight, quote card).
3-5 numbered entries. Each entry contains: the quote in quotation marks, the speaker attribution and their role (or "Author voice" if not a direct quote), a one-line note explaining why this quote works as a pull quote, and the character count in parentheses. Quotes drawn from different sections of the article, not clustered from a single passage. Total output: 200-400 words.
Article text (500-word feature): A profile of Margaret Hollis, 67, a former foreign correspondent who covered three wars and is now teaching journalism to students at a community college in rural Herefordshire. The piece includes the following direct quotes from Hollis: "I used to think experience was the same thing as wisdom. It took me thirty years to find out it wasn't." / "The students here have never been to London, most of them. That's not a disadvantage. That's a different eye." / "I left because I was tired of being brave. I wanted to find out if I could be useful instead." / "The first question I ask every student is: who are you writing for? Most of them have never been asked that before."
1. "I left because I was tired of being brave. I wanted to find out if I could be useful instead." Attribution: Margaret Hollis, former foreign correspondent Why it works: Self-contained, surprising, and emotionally specific — turns the expected narrative of the heroic correspondent on its head. Creates an immediate question: what does "useful" mean to someone who covered wars? Readers will want to find out. (105 characters)
2. "I used to think experience was the same thing as wisdom. It took me thirty years to find out it wasn't." Attribution: Margaret Hollis Why it works: Aphoristic and universally relatable while being rooted in a very specific professional life. Works as a standalone quote card and gives no detail away about the article's direction. (104 characters)
3. "The students here have never been to London, most of them. That's not a disadvantage. That's a different eye." Attribution: Margaret Hollis Why it works: Reframes the assumed deficit (rural students, limited exposure) as an asset. Short, punchy, and challenges the reader's assumptions in two sentences. Ideal for a social media quote card or newsletter. (110 characters)
