# expert-pov — founder point-of-view research skill
Extracts the founder's / expert's genuine point of view and synthesizes a recommended "one big idea" (OBI) — the belief they can credibly own for years. Writes to `marketing/expert-pov/expert-pov.md`. This is the source the brand voice, thought-leadership, and founder-led content all read from.
