SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Long-form authoritative documents like white papers and technical reports often fail because they read as sales pitches, lack evidence, or follow the wrong structural tradition. This Skill provides the structural templates, rhetorical principles, and evidence standards needed to produce documents that educate while persuading. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Genre Selection: Distinguishes government, academic, corporate, and technical white paper traditions so citation density, length, and tone match the intended audience. - Structural Templates: Provides section-by-section blueprints with word counts and proportions for both corporate problem/solution papers and academic working papers. - Evidence and Rhetoric Guidance: Enforces the 80/20 education-to-promotion rule, credibility hierarchies for sources, and narrative arc mapping from problem to resolution. - Use Case: A B2B marketing team needs a 10-page white paper positioning a new security framework. The Skill guides the executive summary, problem definition with quantified data, solution overview, and a subtle call to action without premature product pitching. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to outline a corporate white paper on your chosen topic, specifying the target audience and desired length.

FAQPage Schema
How do I structure a corporate white paper?

Use the problem/solution format: cover page, executive summary, introduction, problem definition, background, solution overview, benefits with evidence, implementation considerations, conclusion, and references. The solution section is the centerpiece at roughly 25% of total length.

How long should a white paper be?

Corporate B2B white papers typically run 2,500-7,000 words across 8-15 pages. Academic working papers run 8,000-15,000 words. Shorter, well-reasoned documents outperform padded longer ones.

What is the difference between a white paper and a case study?

A case study examines one customer's experience in narrow detail, while a white paper addresses an industry-wide problem with broad evidence. White papers educate and persuade across 2,500-7,000 words; case studies validate a single implementation.

When should I mention my product in a white paper?

Do not name your product until the final paragraphs, if at all. Follow the 80/20 rule: 80% educational content, 20% organizational references. Premature selling converts the document into a brochure and destroys credibility.

What tools should I use to write and publish a white paper?

Use LaTeX with Overleaf for academic papers, Word with Styles for corporate documents exported to PDF, or Markdown with Pandoc and Git for version-controlled technical writing. Manage citations with Zotero or BibLaTeX.
