# Social Trend Research

Turn current conversations, seasonal moments, and audience questions into content ideas that can be prepared and published through BulkPublish.

## Requirements

- Verify time-sensitive trends before presenting them as current.
- Distinguish an observed trend from a suggested opportunity or an inference.
- Reject trends that conflict with the brand, exploit sensitive events, or require unsupported claims.
- For each opportunity, provide the source or evidence, audience fit, recommended platforms, hook, CTA, media need, and expiry window.
- Use `platform-reference` and `media-preflight` before turning an opportunity into a BulkPublish post.

Default to a draft or content brief. Do not schedule trend content without confirming its timing and the user's approval.
