Roasty the Fox with an ideaThe full blog post content in markdown format - NO frontmatter, just the body. CRITICAL: This MUST be a comprehensive, SEO-optimized, detailed article of at least 4000 words written with personality, human insight, and ROASTY edge. CRITICAL TEXT FORMATTING - NO EM-DASHES: NEVER use em-dashes (, ) anywhere in the content. Always replace with colons (:) or commas (,). Use colons for emphasis, commas for pauses. SEO Requirements: 1) Naturally include primary keywords in first paragraph and throughout, 2) Use semantic keywords and related terms, 3) Structure with clear H2/H3 hierarchy for topic clusters, 4) Answer common search questions directly, 5) Include data and statistics for linkability. Content Structure: 1) UNIQUE introduction hook (300-400 words) that is completely different from other blog posts - use angle-specific hook: Open with industry insights: "The actual data from ideas industry represents 100% of startup ideas in 2025. But success rates vary wildly. Here's the deep dive." - NO generic boilerplate like 'Most startup ideas in 2025 are expensive solutions...', 2) STRUCTURED DATA TABLE immediately after introduction - HTML table with columns: Startup Name (linked), The Flaw, Roast Score, The Pivot - include at least 10 ideas - this helps AI search engines extract data, 3) 6+ major H2 sections (400-600 words each) with "Red Flags" style headers and ACTUAL IDEA CONTENT with interlinks: Idea Title, 4) 2-3 deep dive case studies (400-600 words each) with BLUNT verdicts + MANDATORY "The Fix Framework" subsections (3 bullets: The Metric to Watch, The Feature to Cut, The One Thing to Build) - this transforms content from 90% negative to 50% constructive, 5) Pattern analysis section (400-600 words) using real data with interlinks, 6) Category-specific insights with interlinks, 7) Actionable takeaways (300-400 words) framed as red flags with interlinks, 8) BLUNT conclusion (200-300 words) with a final directive. Reference and analyze at least 16 ideas in detail using their ACTUAL CONTENT (verdicts, breakdowns, scores, pivots). Use H2 and H3 headers liberally for SEO. Include specific quotes, paraphrases, and details from the actual idea analysis. BOLD the hardest-hitting sentences for impact. Use data scores to mock gaps between fancy and functional. Address founders directly with "You" and "Your". NO corporate positive adjectives (no "stellar," "transformative leap," "innovation"). CRITICAL INTERLINKING: Link idea names to dynamic pages using Idea Title format - this signals to Google you're a database, not just a blog. DATA CONSISTENCY: Use EXACT scores/verdicts provided - never hallucinate conflicting data for same idea. MANDATORY AUTHOR ATTRIBUTION: You MUST include author attribution with LinkedIn URL ONLY at the end of the blog post, on a new line at the very end. Use this exact format (on two separate lines with no empty line between them): Line 1: "Written by Walid Boulanouar." Line 2: "Connect with them on LinkedIn: Check LinkedIn Profile". Example: Written by Walid Boulanouar. Connect with them on LinkedIn: Check LinkedIn Profile. Make it feel like a comprehensive, authoritative feature article written by someone with real insight and edge that deserves to rank #1. CRITICAL: ALL text must be in English - translate any non-English idea titles, verdicts, breakdowns, or pivots to English when referencing them.
