How it works

What it does, step by step

The agent prepares. The Strategist agent checks. You approve anything that leaves the company.

Where it stops and waits for you

  • The strategist approaches and owns every analyst, creator and advisor relationship; agents never contact them without approval.
  • Approval of every briefing, brief and claim before it leaves.
  • Any payment, gift or sponsorship is decided by a person, and the arrangement is disclosed by the creator as the rules of that platform require.
  • Never invent or imply an endorsement. Named companies are examples of a type only.
  1. Build or refresh the influence map from what buyers say they read, watch and ask.
  2. Check each person's published work and audience against the ICP.
  3. Draft a plain briefing or perspective note, offering insight before any request.
  4. Package a brief for the strategist: who to approach, with what, and when.
  5. After human action, record what came back and update the maturity position.

Hands on: To: DRONICS-C Community. Packet: updated map, drafts, signal log, outcomes and learnings.
