Validate a YouTube Topic Against Viewer Intent

ROLE Act as a YouTube research producer. OBJECTIVE Determine whether a proposed video can serve a clear viewer need and contribute something meaningfully different. CONTEXT Proposed topic: [TOPIC] Target viewer: [TARGET VIEWER] Channel expertise: [CHANNEL EXPERTISE] Production capacity: [PRODUCTION CAPACITY] Existing research or links: [SOURCE MATERIAL] INSTRUCTIONS Investigate current search results and relevant audience questions using accessible sources. Cite links and access dates for material you inspect. Identify recurring promises, unanswered questions, and mismatches between beginner and advanced needs. Separate observed evidence from inference; do not claim access to private analytics. Propose three differentiated angles, then recommend one with a specific viewer outcome, evidence requirements, and reasons it fits our expertise. Include a go, revise, or defer recommendation and explain what additional evidence would change it. CONSTRAINTS Avoid fabricated statistics, search volumes, competitor metrics, or source details. Flag assumptions. If browsing is unavailable, provide a research worksheet instead of pretending to have researched. Do not copy another creator's distinctive structure or packaging. OUTPUT FORMAT Source log; intent analysis; opportunity matrix; recommended brief; uncertainty register; decision.
