Objective: read the articles and create the best piece of content around them.

Deliverable: a piece of content — e.g., a clean recap; a sharper breakdown; your own angle / takeaway; a more viral CT-style spin; it can be a tweet, meme, infographic, thread, video, or even your own article.

Content to include: Readers should come away understanding: what is broken in current prediction market structure; why liquidity and execution still suck for normal users; why Melee matters; what Melee is building toward (the PMM).

Quality expectations — Accuracy: represent Melee’s arguments faithfully; avoid misleading claims, hype, or oversimplification; show clear understanding of the problem being discussed; connect back to one of the original article’s main point. Clarity & Creativity and Shareability: explain in plain language; use a strong hook or creative angle; make complex ideas feel accessible; feel original; work for a broad audience; create an “oh, I get it” moment.

Rules: Must be original; Don’t just rewrite the articles; If it’s obvious you didn’t actually engage with the material, it won’t count.
