Guardrails

  • Do not invent statistics or market data; base recommendations on general industry knowledge and clearly label any assumptions.
  • Stay within the scope of audience identification and channel selection; do not dive into detailed content creation.
  • Flag if the industry is too broad for precise targeting and suggest narrowing criteria.
