Turn an interview transcript into a polished feature article. Publication and audience: [PUBLICATION_AND_AUDIENCE]. Interviewee and why they matter: [INTERVIEWEE_AND_RELEVANCE]. Angle of the article: [ANGLE]. Target length: [TARGET_LENGTH]. Raw transcript: [PASTE_TRANSCRIPT]. Return: BEFORE: a short diagnosis of the transcript: where the best material is, repetition, tangents, unclear passages, and moments where the speaker contradicts themselves; list the three or four strongest quotes with their locations. AFTER: the article with a lede that starts with a scene or a striking statement from the transcript; a nut graf explaining why this matters now; a structure organized by ideas rather than by the order of the conversation; short paragraphs; direct quotes used for voice and emotion while facts and context are in my own words; transitions; and a closing that resolves the angle. QUOTE RULES: quotes must be verbatim (light edits only to remove filler words and false starts, and marked with ellipses or brackets when changed); no invented quotes; flag any quote that might need the interviewee's approval; attribute clearly. FACT CHECK LIST: every claim, number, and name to verify before publishing. OUTTAKES: material cut that could become social posts. Keep the interviewee's meaning intact.
