# Write Authority Script ## Purpose Write a voice-faithful authority-mode script (typical 8-15 min, 1500-3000 words). Authority-mode = niched, belief-installation, mechanism-demonstration, conversion-driving. Reads from research brief + hook + loop architecture + retention engineering. Outputs a script with embedded production cues, ready for editor brief. ## Decision Logic Authority mode is the channel's depth surface. The script is engineered to: - Install one belief (from offer's 8-belief path) - Demonstrate the mechanism with specifics (named, ownable, repeatable) - Route the viewer toward the back-end offer via channel architecture (not a hard pitch inside the script) - Maintain ≥ 50% AVD via hook + loops + cadence + callbacks - Pass voice fidelity (Blind Output Test target) The 20/80 inversion: 80% of script quality comes from upstream pre-work (research brief, hook, loops, retention engineering). The script-writer assembles + voice-overlays + adds production cues. ## Tacit Principles 1. **Voice fidelity > everything else.** Use creator's verbatim phrases (compartment 1) at 50%+ density. Mirror cadence patterns. Avoid `phrases_to_avoid`. The Blind Output Test fails first on voice — even when content is correct. 2. **Embedded production cues, not separate.** [VISUAL: ...] [SUPER: ...] [CUT: ...] [B-ROLL: ...] embedded in the script, not in a sidebar. The script reads as a director's pass. 3. **One belief per script.** Don't try to install 2 beliefs in 13 minutes. Seq
