Example prompt: Can you take this project brief and source text about Apex HVAC Company and generate a structured case study outline organized into challenge, approach, and results sections, aimed at mid-market facility managers?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you have raw customer story text or project notes and need a structured, section-by-section case study outline quickly, especially when you want explicit flagging of evidence gaps and assumptions before investing in full editorial production. It is particularly useful for sales and marketing teams operating within TradepilotUSA's business operations workflow who need a first draft organized around challenge, approach, and results without manual structuring.

## Known failure modes

- Brief or source_text below minimum length returns validation error
- Source text exceeding 32,000 character limit rejected
- Insufficient detail in brief may result in heavily assumption-laden output with many evidence gaps flagged
- External research not performed — output based solely on supplied text, so thin inputs yield thin outlines
- Payment failure results in 402 response before processing begins

## How this service works

Organize supplied customer evidence into challenge, approach, results, and missing proof; do not invent outcomes. Uses buyer-supplied information only; no external research or outbound actions. Returns a draft for human review.

## Output

Returns a structured JSON object containing a task identifier, a summary of the outline, a drafted artifact with challenge/approach/results sections, provenance metadata, a list of assumptions made, identified evidence gaps, and a human review flag indicating whether the draft needs editorial sign-off.
