Diverging bars
Diverging bars: each statement people rated as one bar centred on a middle line — disagreement spreading left in greys, agreement right in brand tints, the neutral share straddling the middle — every share printed. How opinion leans, statement by statement.
When the AI picks it
MarketiQ’s Creative Director favours the Diverging bars for posts that teach, prove a point or start a conversation, when the message is a side-by-side comparison 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
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
The Director offers it only when these exist. Without them it simply picks another template.
- A real number from your post or your brand facts
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
- Every value is a real figure from the post or the brand's facts, written as the source writes it.
- Answers run from most negative to most positive; every statement has a real share for each answer.
- The headline says where opinion is warmest and coolest, in words.
Visual rules
- One bar per statement centred on an ink middle line: negative answers extend left in greys, positive ones right in brand tints (strongest in full brand), a neutral share straddles the middle.
- Each statement sits above its bar; shares print inside segments wide enough; a key names the answers.
