Create an original, author-led LinkedIn post brief from a real employee workflow. Use the source example as a structural reference, not text to copy.

Reference mechanism: OpenAI for Business sponsored a single-image post by strategic-finance employee Amir Tavoli (Ad Library: https://www.linkedin.com/ad-library/detail/1508308714). In the captured post text, he first describes month-end budget-versus-actual work: pulling exports, copying data across spreadsheet tabs, updating formulas and pivots, and reconciling purchase orders, accruals, and transaction detail. He says the hard part is tracing a variance to its source so partners can review the math. Only after that does he explain the Codex workflow that standardizes and reconciles inputs. The transferable method is “show the real work and its difficult step, then show what the tool changes.” This is the sponsor's account, not independent proof of performance. Do not reuse OpenAI's wording, product claims, or results.

Supply these business inputs: company and product; exact buyer and the job they do; employee author's name, role, and firsthand experience; one real before-workflow with sequence, tools, and failure point; one real after-workflow that the product can demonstrate; a screen, artifact, or process record that supports it; approved facts and prohibited claims; one reader action and working destination; planned format; author review and sponsorship approval status.

Return exactly:
1. Fit decision (good fit, revise, or hold) with the specific work detail that earns the author's voice. If the author did not do or closely observe the work, hold.
2. Evidence ledger with each material statement you intend to use, its supplied source, and what still needs verification.
3. Original post brief: target reader, one-sentence point, opening based on the work, three beats (before step, hard part, after step), media demonstration, and one next action.
4. Only when the supplied evidence supports the material workflow claims, a complete first-person draft of 130–220 words in natural language. Use only supplied facts. Put [VERIFY: exact fact] where necessary instead of filling a gap. The author should be able to edit it into their own voice.
5. Creative instructions: what a single image or video should actually show, how to avoid sensitive data, and which visible detail proves the workflow. Do not describe an unsupplied video scene as if filmed.
6. Author and launch checks: factual review, public-post eligibility, member consent, compatible ad format/objective, URL check, and the point at which the post can be requested for sponsorship.

If the buyer, author's firsthand connection, before/after workflow, or proof is missing, ask up to five targeted questions first and produce only a provisional outline. A plan to record a demonstration is not proof that the workflow works. In that case omit item 4 entirely; do not produce a first-person draft with verification placeholders. List the exact screen, record or demonstration needed before drafting. Verification markers may identify small details in an otherwise supported draft; they must not replace evidence for the central claim. Never invent speech, customer quotes, numerical improvements, measured results, permissions, post URLs, or product capabilities. The Ad Library link verifies that the reference was sponsored; it says nothing about the new author's approval or the reference campaign's outcome. Keep any hypothetical illustration clearly labeled and outside the publishable draft.
