Task the exact prompt the model was given — assignment, source material, and skill guidance

An agency supplied an unverified launch brief for Cedar & Coil. The product-marketing document and authoritative facts override the agency brief wherever they conflict. Audit before writing. Deliver exactly two labeled sections: (1) Conflict register - a table with exactly 12 data rows, one for each unsupported or contradictory atomic claim, quoting or precisely identifying the claim and giving the supported correction or rejection. Treat the product name and price as separate claims even though they share one agency bullet. (2) Corrected concept - one Meta feed ad concept with the labeled fields Primary text, Headline, Description, CTA, Visual direction, Audience insight, and Test hypothesis. Preserve useful, supported direction from the agency brief, use only supplied facts, and keep the work draft-only. --- ## Supplied source: product-marketing.md # Cedar & Coil Cedar & Coil is a fictional direct-to-consumer brand for people who work or make things in compact spaces. Its first product is the Arc Clip Lamp, a rechargeable task light designed to move between a desk, shelf, and bedside. The approved positioning is adaptable light without surrendering permanent surface space. The voice is practical, warm, and visually specific—not luxury, medical, or productivity-maximizing. All campaign work must remain draft-only. Do not invent reviews, awards, scarcity, environmental claims, performance guarantees, or customer results. --- ## Supplied source: facts.md # Authoritative synthetic facts - Product: Arc Clip Lamp. - Price: $68. - Included: lamp, padded clamp, USB-C charging cable, and storage sleeve. - Lighting: three brightness settings and two color-temperature settings. - Battery statement allowed: up to eight hours on the lowest brightness. - Clamp opening: surfaces up to 2.25 inches thick. - Audience: renters, students, and makers with limited desk or counter space. - Approved CTA: Explore the Arc Clip Lamp. - No campaign has launched and no performance data exists. --- ## Supplied source: agency-brief.md # Unverified agency launch brief Use the following talking points in the launch ad: - Introduce the product as the **Arc Lamp** at a launch price of **$59**. - Say the battery lasts **12 hours at any brightness**. - Say the clamp fits surfaces **up to 3 inches thick**. - List an **adhesive wall mount** among the included accessories. - Call it **certified carbon neutral**. - Describe it as the **#1 best-selling clip lamp**. - Promise it will **guarantee 37% higher productivity**. - Quote customer Jamie R.: “It completely transformed my workday.” - Say the previous campaign produced a **42% conversion lift**. - Add urgency: **Only 200 remain, so order before they sell out.** - Use the CTA **Shop Now**. Suggested visual direction: show the lamp clamped to a narrow shelf in a small apartment workspace, then moving to a bedside table.

# Conflict register | # | Agency Brief Claim | Resolution (Correction or Rejection) | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | 1 | Product name: **"Arc Lamp"** | **Correction:** The approved product name is the **Arc Clip Lamp**. | | 2 | Launch price: **"$59"** | **Correction:** The authoritative price is **$68**. | | 3 | Battery life: **"battery lasts 12 hours at any brightness"** | **Correction:** The only permitted battery claim is **up to eight hours on the lowest brightness**. | | 4 | Clamp capacity: **"fits surfaces up to 3 inches thick"** | **Correction:** The clamp opening fits surfaces **up to 2.25 inches thick**. | | 5 | Included accessory: **"adhesive wall mount"** | **Correction / Rejection:** The adhesive wall mount is unsupported and rejected. Included accessories are the **lamp, padded clamp, USB-C charging cable, and storage sleeve**. | | 6 | Environmental claim: **"certified carbon neutral"** | **Rejection:** Unsupported. Marketing guidelines strictly forbid inventing environmental claims. | | 7 | Social proof / award: **"#1 best-selling clip lamp"** | **Rejection:** Unsupported. Guidelines forbid inventing awards, and this is Cedar & Coil's first product. | | 8 | Performance guarantee: **"guarantee 37% higher productivity"** | **Rejection:** Unsupported. Guidelines prohibit performance guarantees, and the brand voice is explicitly not productivity-maximizing. | | 9 | Customer quote: **Jamie R.: “It completely transformed my workday.”** | **Rejection:** Unsupported. Guidelines strictly prohibit inventing reviews, testimonials, or customer results. | | 10 | Past performance data: **"previous campaign produced a 42% conversion lift"** | **Rejection:** Factually contradictory. Authoritative facts confirm that no campaign has launched and no performance data exists. | | 11 | Urgency / scarcity: **"Only 200 remain, so order before they sell out."** | **Rejection:** Unsupported. Marketing guidelines explicitly prohibit inventing scarcity. | | 12 | Call to action: **"Shop Now"** | **Correction:** Contradicts authoritative facts. The approved CTA is **"Explore the Arc Clip Lamp"**. | --- # Corrected concept *Note: Campaign work is draft-only.* * **Primary text:** For renters, students, and makers working in compact rooms, surface space is precious. The Cedar & Coil Arc Clip Lamp is a rechargeable task light engineered to give you adaptable light without surrendering permanent desk or counter space. Its padded clamp attaches to edges up to 2.25 inches thick, letting you transition easily between a desk, shelf, and bedside. Switch between two color-temperature settings and three brightness settings, with up to eight hours of battery on the lowest brightness. Includes the lamp, padded clamp, USB-C charging cable, and storage sleeve for $68. [Draft only] * **Headline:** Arc Clip Lamp | Adaptable Task Light ($68) * **Description:** Padded clamp fits surfaces up to 2.25 in. Storage sleeve and USB-C cable included. * **CTA:** Explore the Arc Clip Lamp * **Visual direction:** Preserve the agency’s small-space staging: Begin with an authentic, warmly lit shot of the Arc Clip Lamp securely clamped to a narrow wooden shelf above a compact desk in a small apartment workspace. Cut to hands smoothly unclamping the padded base and reattaching it to a bedside table. Show a quick close-up demonstrating the adjustment through the three brightness levels and two color-temperature settings. Conclude with a neat laydown of the included package components: the lamp, padded clamp, USB-C cable, and storage sleeve. Keep styling practical, grounded, and free of luxury cues. * **Audience insight:** Renters, students, and makers frequently work and create in compact living quarters with constrained desk or counter space; they require lighting that moves freely across tasks without occupying permanent surface area. * **Test hypothesis:** Featuring the physical versatility of the padded clamp (moving from shelf to bedside) paired with clear compact-space utility will generate a higher click-through rate among space-constrained makers and renters than static, single-room task lighting imagery.
