Lock the non-negotiables
- Read the full thread before typing.
- Disclose when recommending your product.
- Never post the same paragraph twice—even if paraphrased poorly.
Scale the invisible parts
- Better alerts for keywords your ICP uses.
- Snippets that are modular, not canned essays.
- CRM notes on which communities reward depth versus brevity.
