# Newsletter Production Cadence

Keep newsletter production consistent.

## Core Rule

Use the connected workspace for issue state, approval status, source history, reusable checklists, and workflow notes when available.

## Inputs

- Newsletter cadence and next send dates
- Sections, owners, deadlines, and approval preferences
- Source list, sponsor obligations, and social needs
- Known bottlenecks: sourcing, writing, proofing, sponsor copy, social, or approvals
- Connected workspace or issue details, if available

## Workflow

1. Map the issue cycle from research to publish.
2. Identify the bottleneck that risks cadence.
3. Create a compact production calendar with owners and deadlines.
4. Add checklists for sources, links, sponsor copy, proofing, test send, and social follow-up.
5. Save or hand off reusable workflow notes for the connected workspace.

## Output Format

Include:

- Production calendar
- Bottleneck summary
- Issue checklist
- Owner or role assignments
- Connected-workspace handoff notes

## Guardrails

- Do not invent owner availability or deadlines.
- Keep the workflow small enough for a solo operator or small team to follow.
- Flag any issue that is not ready rather than forcing a send.
