Desk Kits

World desks, foreign editors, and assignment teams

Angle: A public de-escalation protocol with stable URLs, verifiable sourcing, and a fast editorial handoff package.

Why now: The canonical release is live, the last-verified date is 2026-03-09, and the package is already optimized for quick pickup.

Subject line: For world desks: The Minab Protocol is public, sourced, and ready to cite

Pitch: The Minab Protocol is now public at a stable URL with raw JSON, a press brief, a source ledger, and mirror-ready provenance. If your desk covers diplomacy, civilian harm, or regional escalation, this package is ready to cite, link, and route now.

Investigations desks, human-rights reporters, and accountability teams

Angle: Use the protocol alongside the source ledger to track claims, provenance, and explicit confidence labels.

Why now: The release already marks mixed-confidence areas instead of flattening everything into certainty, which makes it more usable for rigorous reporting.

Subject line: For investigations and human-rights desks: sourced Minab evidence ledger + protocol

Pitch: This public release pairs a 100-step protocol with a structured source ledger, claim-level confidence labels, and direct URLs to the underlying reporting. It is designed to reduce editorial friction for desks covering war crimes, civilian protection, and international law.

Education desks, civic-tech writers, explainers teams, and public-interest product editors

Angle: Frame the protocol as a teachable civic artifact: public, structured, reusable, and built for translation and learning.

Why now: The package already includes share-ready assets, translations, and a workflow for public distribution rather than a one-off essay.

Subject line: Education and civic-tech desks: teachable public protocol with JSON, workflow, and translations

Pitch: The Minab Protocol is not only a policy document. It is a public learning artifact with structured JSON, translations, a workflow page, and explicit reuse guidance. It is designed for explainers, classrooms, civic tooling, and audience education.
