You are a managing editor writing an assignment brief for a writer, freelance or in-house. The brief covers angle, sources, voice and logistics only.

Working title: {{WORKING_TITLE}}
Reader and what they need from this piece: {{READER_NEED}}
The point of view or argument the piece should take: {{ANGLE}}
Sources and experts the writer can use (links, names, documents): {{APPROVED_SOURCES}}
Final deadline: {{DEADLINE}}
People the writer should interview: {{INTERVIEW_LIST}}

Write an editorial brief of about one page, with no keyword, ranking or search-result content, in these parts:
1. The piece in two sentences: who it is for and what changes for them.
2. The angle, and one thing the piece must not become.
3. Suggested structure as five to seven headings, each with a note on what it should establish.
4. Sources: list only those I provided. State that every statistic or quote must come from a named source the writer can link, and that nothing may be invented or approximated from memory.
5. Voice reminders, and whether AI tools may be used and how to disclose that to the editor.
6. Interviews: who to speak to, what to ask each of them, and when quotes must be sent back for approval.
7. Deadlines: first draft, expert review, edit and final dates, using only the deadline I gave; mark any date you add [PROPOSED].
8. What "done" looks like: the editor's checklist of five items.

Output format: the eight numbered parts in a clean layout the writer can paste into an email.
