Editorial Calendar

A twelve-week publishing schedule generated from the aspirational cadence and the real gaps in the library — not a hand-written plan.

OverviewProductionEditorial CalendarPerformancePipeline
Generated plan — not a commitmentGenerated plan — requires owner editorial approval. Cadence is aspirational (content/cadence.json): 1 documentary per week, 1 investigation, 7 Shorts daily, 2 LinkedIn posts, 1 newsletter, 1 Medium article and 1 Substack essay.

The documentary queue holds 22 investigations without a confirmed video (featured first, then by publication date) — the first 12 are scheduled below. The investigation queue is the 3 announced investigations from coming-soon.json, after which new investigations need owner ideation. LinkedIn, newsletter, Medium and Substack slots derive from each week's documentary and investigation.
