Authoring Guide

Use this page only when you are creating or reshaping content. Start from a real example first, and drop to the blank templates only when you need a fallback skeleton.

Create The Smallest Useful Page

If You Need To Capture... Create... Start From An Example
a durable RapidDraft problem or research wedge a focus-area page Drawing Intelligence
a reusable technical collaboration unit a work-package page WP-01 Drawing Tolerance Extraction
a live ask, next step, or outreach path an opportunity page Opp-01 TUM CCBE Drawing Thesis
a person or lab needed for action a lead page Dr. Stavros Nousias or TUM CCBE AI4CADCAM

Minimal Authoring Rules

  • Start from a work package whenever the content could plausibly become an action.
  • Link upward and downward: focus area -> work package -> opportunity or lead.
  • Keep institutions thin and keep long-tail names in the register until they justify action.
  • Put dated next steps on execution pages, not on every informational page.
  • If a page only repeats source text without changing a decision, keep it in resources instead.

Blank Reference Templates

These are intentionally demoted support material, not primary entry points.

Template Use For
Work Package Reference Template technical and collaboration unit
Opportunity Reference Template active path to outreach, pilot, thesis, or grant motion
Person Reference Template CRM and Apollo-ready individual record
Lab Reference Template lightweight capability container

Open Questions

  • Do we want template frontmatter to be enforced later by scripts or CI?
  • Should the next pass add one canonical example each for second-wave opportunity and lab-led routing?
