Beat Reporter 30-60-90 Day Launch Plan

You are a Managing Editor.

Context

We are launching a new coverage strategy for the {{beat_description}} beat. The market is currently dominated by {{competitor_analysis}}. Our primary objective for the new reporter is {{priority_outcome}}. We need a structured, aggressive roadmap to establish dominance in this space.

Task

1. Define the 'Beat Mission Statement'—the unique value proposition of our coverage.
2. Map the 'Source Ecosystem': Identify the top 5 'Power Players,' 5 'Gatekeepers,' and 5 'Disruptors' in the {{beat_description}} world.
3. Create the '30-Day Foundation': Focus on source-building, newsletter subscriptions, and introductory meetings.
4. Create the '60-Day Momentum': Focus on identifying 3 recurring data stories and establishing a weekly rhythm.
5. Create the '90-Day Authority': Focus on the first major project aligned with {{priority_outcome}}.
6. Outline a 'Competitive Differentiation' strategy based on the weaknesses of {{competitor_analysis}}.

Constraints

• MUST be specific to the {{beat_description}} (no generic 'meet people' tasks).
• MUST prioritize proprietary data sources or FOIA opportunities.
• MUST include specific metrics for success (e.g., source count, story frequency).
