The Production-Cadence Tradeoff

The Production-Cadence Tradeoff
Batch-produce a week ahead or post real-time? Consistency vs relevance.

□ 1. Format check — evergreen templates batch perfectly; trend hijacks must be real-time or they're stale.
□ 2. Throughput input — batching cuts setup cost (one lighting/audio session feeds 10 posts) and guarantees you never miss a day.
□ 3. Relevance risk — a fully batched queue can't react to today's viral moment. Leave 1-2 daily slots open.
□ 4. QA pass — batch the evergreen 70%, hold 30% real-time for reactions.

Tradeoff: batch = consistency and efficiency, real-time = relevance and trend speed.

Rule: batch the backbone, reserve open slots for live hijacks. Run the batch weekly.
