Backstage in dark timber. A tall stage door stands ajar; through the gap, a lit auditorium with empty seats and a strip of bright sea. On a timber panel to the right, a blank pass of rhodolite glass hangs from a steel pin. Nothing is written on it.

An invented executive. Nothing is published or sent.

What the film shows, in words
  1. A profile made only of what you can prove.
  2. 3 career facts.
  3. 2 verified, each with a source. They reach the bio: 2/3 facts verified and used.
  4. No source, no sentence. Not used: “Award-winning health innovator”.
  5. Take out what you cannot prove: 2/2.
  6. Every fact is verified and every topic evidenced.

Three claims. Two you can prove.

ExampleAn invented executive · Illustrative example · Nothing is published or sent

Step 1 of 4

Three career facts. Two reach the bio.

2/3 facts verified and used, so the bio draft has 1 + 2 = 3 sentences. Claim 03 stays out: no source, not verified. One topic has no evidence written.

The tool’s flags at this step, word for word

  • Not used: “Award-winning health innovator”.Add a source and verify it; awards and titles need proof.
  • Topic “Nurse leadership” has no evidence of expertise.

3sentences in the bio draft1 for the role + 2 for the verified facts

Ama Example

Chief Executive, Example Health Trust

  • Running primary care on thin budgets: Ten years managing clinic networks
  • Nurse leadership [evidence needed]

2/3facts verified and used

Now your profile, fact by fact.

List the verified facts of a career, the topics a leader can speak on with evidence, and the audience. The planner drafts headline options and a bio built only from facts marked verified, and lists every claim still to check.

ExampleThe worked example is an invented executive. Replace every fact with one you can prove.

The length is a note for whoever edits the text: it sets the figure shown with the draft. The draft itself is not cut to it.

An upright wall made of wide horizontal bands of silver. Most are polished and bright with daylight; one is matte and dark. A thin line of rhodolite glass runs between two of the polished bands.
A band stays unlit until its fact is verified and carries a source.

How it works, and its limits.

The rules are published so you can check them. The tool sees a switch and a written source. It cannot open the source, and it cannot tell whether a fact is true. Awards, titles and firsts need proof before anyone says them in public.

Method

  1. 01

    Only facts marked verified and carrying a source are used in the bio draft.

  2. 02

    Unverified claims are listed; awards, titles and firsts are treated as errors until proved.

  3. 03

    Topics without evidence of expertise are flagged.

What it cannot tell you

  • The bio draft is a starting point; the person approves every word.
  • It never invents awards, titles, testimonials or credentials.
  • Pronouns and voice must be set by the person described.

Quality ruleNo invented awards, titles, testimonials or credentials.

A curved concrete balcony seen from behind its parapet, a thin line of rhodolite light along the rim, with a glazed wall and the sea beyond.

A draft here. The finished profile is a service.

The planner sorts what can be said from what still needs proof. Writing the profile and preparing a talk are work we do with you. Neither promises an invitation, coverage or an audience.
