Understand a Manifest, then present it as a brief, table or chart people enjoy.
By the end you can:
- Know every part of a Manifest and what each is for
- Write human narratives from the Brief, and reason with the Signal
- Build tables, charts and infographics that only show real numbers
12The Manifest anatomy field guideEvery part of a Manifest, which date means what, which fields to show people, and a defensive accessor that never breaks on a missing field.13Signals, Briefs and RecordsKnow what each part of a Manifest is for, read it cheaply first, and go deeper only when the answer needs it.14The output contractThe whole path in one guide. Connect, write one briefing for one reader, then run the daily cadence yourself. Read this first.15Briefing fields and the reader profileThe fields on each presentation item, the briefing block with stories, themes and continuity, and the optional reader profile with its limits.16Present Manifests to your usersTurn Manifests into one briefing for one reader. Write the opening from the scaffold's claims, label the evidence, and link every item to its source.17Charts, tables and infographicsWhen the numbers in a Manifest deserve a picture, how to build a table, chart or infographic from them, and how to stay honest about what the data supports.
