Critic's review
A newspaper 'REVIEW' from the arts and food pages: the place or product as a big serif headline, the star rating, the critic's verdict in italic and a details box — a real review given the weight of the printed page.
When the AI picks it
MarketiQ’s Creative Director favours the Critic's review for posts that prove a point or get people to act, when the message is a quote or one product in the spotlight. It is built first to prove a point.
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.
- Real proof to show: a testimonial, a review or a result
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
- Real reviews only: the verdict is quoted word for word and the reviewer is real.
- Show stars only when the reviewer gave a rating; never round a rating up.
- Details (where, when, what to try) come from the post.
Visual rules
- A newsprint page: a brand-colour REVIEW flag and the outlet over a rule.
- The subject as a large serif headline, a row of brand-colour stars with the rating, a hanging quote mark and the verdict in big italic serif, then '— reviewer'.
- A ruled THE DETAILS box of label/value rows (beside the review on 16:9), and the logo and website in the folio.
