Lab notebook
A real experiment written up in a 'lab notebook': a marbled composition-book cover with a label, then graph-paper pages with a red margin and index tabs down the edge — Question, Method, Result, Lesson — the current one pulled out, each entry handwritten with a flask doodle. For a test the business ran and what it learned.
When the AI picks it
MarketiQ’s Creative Director favours the Lab notebook for posts that teach, prove a point or start a conversation, when the message is a story, steps or a process or a number. 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
Made for Not for: Healthcare. The Director offers it only to brands of that kind, so it never turns up for a business it does not suit.
Never offered to: Healthcare.

Carousel of 3–10 slides. Each size is laid out for its canvas, not cropped; the sample above is the 4:5 version.
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
- Only for a real test the business ran — a new recipe, a pricing change, a new routine — told as what it asked, how it tested, what it found and what it learned; not for opinions or plain news (a post that never says it tried or tested something is refused).
- Results are only the ones the copy states, with its own numbers; never invent data or conclusions.
- The closing line turns the lesson into the reader's next step.
Visual rules
- Graph-paper pages (fine grid, bolder every fifth line) with a brand-tint margin line, on a pale desk; four index tabs down the right edge — Question, Method, Result, Lesson — the current one in the brand colour.
- Each entry has the logo and page counter at the top, the stage handwritten large, the heading handwritten and the text in the body face, with a small flask doodle at the foot.
- The cover is a black marbled composition book with a brand-colour spine and a white label holding 'Experiment', the title and the logo; the closing page is the 'Conclusion' with the call to action.
