The workflows that make LADLE load-bearing.
Ten multi-step recipes people actually run weekly or monthly. Each has per-step prompts, expected outputs, and handoff notes. Not tips — real workflows for real work.
Weekly competitive digest.
The Friday-afternoon workflow that turns a scattered week of competitor news into a one-page internal memo — repeatable, and cheap enough to actually run.

The workflow that turns two pages of scrappy notes into a decision log the team can act on — and follows up so the actions actually land.

The workflow for turning a real research question into a publishable memo where every claim traces to a primary source you actually read.
