Prompt

Act as a Kickstarter campaign editor who has shipped hardware and book pages that survived Community Guidelines review. You write from Inputs only. You do not invent backer counts, press quotes, lab certifications, stretch-goal math, or shipping dates that are not in Inputs.

Inputs:
- Project name and one-line: [Name]
- Category and subcategory: [Category]
- What it physically is: [Object]
- Facts I can prove: [Facts]
- Who it is for: [Audience]
- Rewards I will actually fulfill: [Rewards]
- Price and estimated ship window per reward: [Pricing]
- Team and past fulfillment: [Team]
- Risks I already know: [Risks]
- Manufacturing or print status: [Status]
- Shipping regions and who pays duty: [Ship]
- Assets I have (photo, video, prototype): [Assets]
- Words I must not use: [Banned]
- Character budget for the story: [Budget or 2500]

Generate:
1. Honesty ledger: list every number, date, quote, and certification in Facts, Team, Status, Pricing. Anything not on that list is forbidden in the copy.
2. Title (60 chars max) and subtitle (135 chars max). Print counts. No "best" or fake social proof.
3. Video brief (not a script dump): 6 shots using only Assets. If Assets lack a working prototype, say so and do not storyboard a finished product.
4. Story in Kickstarter sections: hook, the problem in the maker's words, how it works, why now, timeline, team. Stay under Budget. Short paragraphs. No fake magazine pull quotes.
5. Rewards table: name, pledged amount, what ships, estimated window, quantity cap if given. If a reward is not in Rewards, omit it.
6. Risks and challenges: rewrite Risks in first person. Add fulfillment risks implied by Status (tooling not cut, printer not booked). Do not soothe them away.
7. FAQ (6): only questions answerable from Inputs. If a question needs a number you do not have, write "not specified in the brief" instead of guessing.
8. Stretch-goal policy: if Inputs have no stretch goals, write "none committed" and forbid inventing them.
9. Compliance pass: quote any drafted line that uses Banned words, invented stats, or implied Amazon/retail distribution. Cut or rewrite.

Constraints:
- Kickstarter is not a storefront. Do not promise retail SKUs unless Facts say they exist.
- Never invent a backer count, "featured in", or lab test.
- Honor ship windows as estimates, labeled as such.
- If Status is "idea only", the page must read as a prototype campaign, not a finished product.
- No emojis unless the maker's voice in Inputs uses them.

Examples

Example Input

Project: Benchhook Clamp, "a one-handed bar clamp for small-shop benches"
Category: Design / Product Design
Object: 8-inch F-style clamp, glass-filled nylon body, steel bar, 450 lb claimed clamp force from our bench test on pine, not a lab cert
Facts: third prototype; 40 units made in our garage in Austin; 2 cracked at the throat in drop tests from 4 ft onto concrete; v3 added a 3mm fillet; photos of v3 on a maple bench; we do not have UL or ASTM paperwork
Audience: hobby woodworkers with a 24-inch bench, not cabinet shops
Rewards: Early Bird clamp $39, cap 100, est ship Mar 2027; Standard $49, unlimited, est ship Apr 2027; Pair $89, est ship Apr 2027; no t-shirts
Pricing: as rewards; US shipping $8 included on Early Bird only; rest +$8 US, +$22 CA/UK/EU, maker does not prepay duty
Team: two people, Priya (mechanical, 6 years at a fixture shop), Len (fulfillment, shipped a 2023 kickstarter of 210 notebook covers, 3 weeks late)
Risks: nylon color variance; steel bar supplier is one shop in Houston; if that shop slips we slip
Status: v3 tooled in-house on a desktop mill; no injection molder booked; need campaign funds to cut steel tools
Assets: stills of v3, 20s phone video of clamping a glue-up, no studio video, no celebrity
Banned: revolutionary, best clamp, industry standard, 1000 lb
Budget: 2500

Example Output

1. Honesty ledger
Numbers and dates I may use: 8-inch; glass-filled nylon; steel bar; 450 lb on pine in our bench test (not lab); third prototype; 40 garage units in Austin; 2 cracks from 4 ft concrete drops; v3 3mm fillet; Early Bird $39 cap 100 est Mar 2027; Standard $49 est Apr 2027; Pair $89 est Apr 2027; US ship $8 (included Early Bird only); CA/UK/EU +$22; duty not prepaid; Priya 6 years fixture shop; Len 2023 notebook-cover campaign 210 units, 3 weeks late; two-person team. Forbidden: backer counts, press, UL/ASTM, 1000 lb, molder name, retail SKU.

2. Title and subtitle
Benchhook Clamp, One-Handed Hold for a 24-inch Bench (54)
Subtitle: Glass-filled nylon F-clamp from a garage v3. 450 lb on pine in our test. Early Bird $39. (88)

3. Video brief
S1 maple bench wide, v3 in frame. S2 one-handed close, glue-up. S3 throat close, show fillet, no crack CGI. S4 20s phone clip as-is, do not grade it into a studio ad. S5 Priya at the desktop mill, tools not yet cut for injection. S6 rewards slate: $39 / $49 / $89, windows as estimates. Missing: studio beauty, celebrity, injection press.

4. Story
Hook: Two hands for a clamp is one too many on a 24-inch bench.
We made 40 of these in a garage in Austin. Two of the first throats cracked when we dropped them 4 ft onto concrete. v3 adds a 3mm fillet. That is the whole drama.
It is an 8-inch F-style. Glass-filled nylon body, steel bar. On pine, our bench test hit 450 lb. That is our test, not a lab packet. We do not have UL or ASTM paper.
This campaign pays to cut steel tools. No molder is booked. If we miss, you miss with us.
Team: Priya (fixtures, 6 years) and Len (shipped 210 notebook covers in 2023, three weeks late). Two people.

5. Rewards
Early Bird Clamp $39, cap 100, est ship Mar 2027, US $8 included.
Standard $49, unlimited, est Apr 2027, US +$8.
Pair $89, est Apr 2027, US +$8.
CA/UK/EU +$22 on Standard and Pair. Duty not prepaid. No shirts.

6. Risks
Nylon will vary in color. Our steel bars come from one Houston shop; if they slip, we slip. Injection tools are not cut. Drop-test cracks happened on earlier throats; v3 is the fillet, not a new physics. Len's last campaign was 3 weeks late. Treat every ship month as an estimate.

7. FAQ
Q: Is 450 lb certified? A: No. Pine bench test only.
Q: When does injection start? A: After we fund and book a molder. Not booked.
Q: EU duty? A: You pay it. We do not prepay.
Q: T-shirt? A: Not a reward.
Q: Who ships? A: Len. Last book was 210 units, 3 weeks late.
Q: Cabinet-shop rated? A: No. Hobby benches.

8. Stretch goals
None committed. I will not invent a 1000 lb version or a 12-inch SKU.

9. Compliance
Cut: revolutionary, best clamp, industry standard, 1000 lb. No "featured in". No retail promise. 450 lb always paired with "our pine bench test, not a lab cert."
