NARRATIVE DECKS TEMPLATE

Detective's clue board

An investigation pinned to a cork 'clue board': each page pins one clue on an index card beside a '?' snapshot, the detail on a sticky note, and a string running from pin to pin and on to the next page — the closing card is where the clues lead. For a diagnosis or a mystery solved step by step.

When the AI picks it

MarketiQ’s Creative Director favours the Detective's clue board for posts that teach, start a conversation or get people to act, when the message is a story, a list or a question. It is built first to teach.

It reads each post’s goal and shape first, then its own words, the platform and the facts you have, and offers this template only where it fits.

Who it’s for

Any business. Nothing in it assumes what you sell, so the Director can offer it to a software company, a café or a coaching centre alike — whenever the post fits.

What it needs

Only your post. It is made from your copy and your brand kit — there is nothing else to prepare.

Rules the AI follows

Word for word from the template library. The Director follows the copy rules when it writes into the template, and the visual review checks every creative against the visual rules.

Copy rules

  1. Only for an investigation or a diagnosis — a problem traced clue by clue to its cause (why sales dipped, what was wrong with a customer's skin, where the leak was); not for a list of features or tips.
  2. Clues are things the copy says were seen or found; never accuse a real person, customer or competitor.
  3. The closing line is where the clues lead — the cause, the fix or what the reader should check.

Visual rules

  1. A cork board with speckled texture: on each page a pinned white index card with a red-ruled header line holding the clue ('Clue n' or its tag) and heading, a pinned '?' snapshot, and the detail handwritten on a brand-tint sticky note.
  2. One brand-colour string runs in from the left edge through every pin and off the right edge toward the next page; the logo and the page counter sit on pinned white labels at the top.
  3. The cover pins the title card at the centre with numbered snapshots strung to it; the closing card reads 'Where it all leads' with the call to action.
