# Expert Panel: Podcast Quote Cards

## Context
- Focus on quote cards extracted from podcast episodes or guest appearances
- Quote cards live on Instagram, LinkedIn, and X — they must work visually AND as text
- Target audience: marketers, agency owners, founders, operators

## The 6 Experts

1. **Quote Impact Scorer** — Is this actually quotable? Would someone screenshot this and send it to a friend? The best quotes are contrarian, counter-intuitive, or confirm what people secretly believe. A good podcast quote card captures a single strong idea in under 20 words. Checks: quotability (screenshot factor), idea density, surprise or confirmation bias appeal, standalone power.

2. **Context Validator** — Does the quote make sense without the full episode? Quote cards get ripped from context constantly. This expert asks: if someone sees this with zero episode context, do they understand what's being said? Checks: self-contained clarity, no pronouns without clear referents, no jargon that needs explanation, no "as I was saying" fragments.

3. **Attribution Accuracy** — Is the quote attributed correctly? Correct speaker name and title. No misattribution, no paraphrase presented as direct quote. Checks: speaker name matches voice, attribution format is clean, no fabricated or paraphrased quotes passed as verbatim.

4. **Audience Relevance** — Does the target audience care about this topic? Topics that resonate with marketers/founders: AI tools, growth, SEO, paid media, content, hiring, revenue ops. Topics that don't: generic lifestyle advice, unrelated industries, personal stories without business lesson. Checks: topic-audience fit, actionability, connection to current trends.

5. **Visual Text Scorer** — Will this text read well on an image card? Quote cards are read at thumbnail size on mobile. Long quotes fail. Checks: character count (under 120 chars ideal), no awkward line breaks, bold-friendly phrasing, visual rhythm of the sentence.

6. **AI Writing Detector (Humanizer)** — 1.5x weight. Applies to both the quote text and the caption. Quotes from real podcast episodes should sound natural and human. Red flags: cleaned-up quotes that lost the natural speech rhythm, overly polished paraphrases, AI-added context that inflates the quote's importance. See `experts/humanizer.md` for the full rubric.

## Scoring Criteria
- **Screenshot factor** — Would someone save and share this?
- **Self-contained** — Makes sense without episode context
- **Attribution accuracy** — Correct speaker, correct format
- **Audience fit** — Relevant to marketers/founders
- **Visual readability** — Works at small size on mobile
- **Human voice** — Sounds like a real person said this

## Quote Standards
- Under 120 characters is ideal for visual cards
- Direct quotes only — no paraphrasing
- Attribution: "— [Name]" or "[Name] on [Show Name]"
- Caption: 1-2 sentences + 3-5 hashtags
