# Research to Content Workflow

> Trend research through published content: how Cortex and Pulse work together on a content cycle.

The research-to-content workflow turns a topic or brief into published content — research-backed, VIRALS scored, and saved for future reference.

## The workflow

<Steps>
  <Step title="Cortex: research the topic">
    ```text theme={null}
    Research the current state of B2B outbound in 2026.
    What are the main trends, what's changing, what's contrarian?
    ```

    Cortex runs 3 parallel searches, scrapes relevant pages, finds contrarian takes on Reddit and LinkedIn. Saves a research summary to memory tagged `["cortex", "content-research", "outbound-2026"]`.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Pulse: draft the post">
    Pulse reads Cortex's research from memory and drafts the post.

    Structure applied: Hook → Mind Read → Twist → CTA → Payoff.
    Platform rules applied: Max 150 words, max 3 hashtags, no emojis (for LinkedIn).
  </Step>

  <Step title="VIRALS scoring">
    Draft scored on 0–12 scale. Score \< 7 → Pulse revises automatically. Score 7+ → returned to you.

    You see the score breakdown with the draft: V:2 I:2 R:1 A:2 L:2 S:2 = 11/12.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review and approve">
    Read the draft in chat. Edit inline if needed. Approve.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Saved and scheduled">
    Content saved to memory with tags. Added to content queue if a social integration is connected.

    Pulse references this post in future content cycles — if it performs well, it becomes a style reference.
  </Step>
</Steps>
