Worked example
A worked example on graph paper, written by hand: the situation the post describes, the steps circled and numbered, and the answer in a hand-drawn box. Shows the method applied to a real case — the way a good teacher would.
When the AI picks it
MarketiQ’s Creative Director favours the Worked example for posts that teach, when the message is steps or a process, a story or one sharp insight. 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
- Every label is the post's own idea in a few words; diagrams carry no number, name or result the post does not.
- Numbers appear only when the post's own example has them; steps read like working, not slogans.
Visual rules
- White graph paper with a faint brand grid; kicker and logo, the headline in the heading face.
- Handwriting throughout the working: the situation under a mono 'given', circled step numbers, and the answer in a slightly turned brand box with a mono 'so'.
