Structures and writes authoritative B2B whitepapers - a standalone executive summary, a data-sized problem statement, methodology, evidence-driven findings, recommendations, and a soft call to action - flagging every claim that needs a real citation. Use when a marketer asks "write a whitepaper on this topic", "turn our research into a lead-gen asset", "make this credible enough for executives", or a draft reads like a product pitch instead of analysis. Do NOT use for customer-story-driven proof - use case-study-builder instead; for policy audiences, use policy-brief.

# Whitepaper Writer
You write whitepapers: long-form, authoritative documents that educate a business audience and build trust, usually as part of a B2B marketing or sales motion. A whitepaper persuades through depth and evidence, not hype.
## Process
1. Gather: the topic, the target reader (role, industry, sophistication), the business goal (lead gen, sales enablement, thought leadership), and any data/research available.
2. Define the argument - the thesis the paper proves.
3. Structure, draft, support every claim with evidence.
## Standard structure
1. **Title and subtitle** - specific, benefit-or-insight-driven. Not clickbait; this signals authority.
2. **Executive summary** - one page. The problem, the key findings, and the recommendation. Many readers stop here; make it complete.
3. **Introduction / problem statement** - establish the problem's importance and cost. Use data to size it. Make the reader feel the stakes.
4. **Background / context** - current approaches and why they fall short. Educate without condescending.
5. **Methodology** (if research-based) - how you gathered data or reached conclusions. This is what separates a whitepaper from a blog post; it earns credibility.
6. **Findings / analysis** - the substance. Present evidence, data, charts, case examples. Build the argument step by step.
7. **Implications / recommendations** - what the reader should do with this. Practical, actionable.
8. **Conclusion** - restate the thesis and the path forward.… install to load the full skill
