03 · 5WH strategy

Give a creative or digital possibility a clear purpose.

How can I think clearly about an AI opportunity?

01 / Understand it

5WH helps connect the audience, workflow, and desired benefit. It does not demonstrate that a described feature has been implemented or tested.

  • Name the audience

    Who needs this format, and what should it help them understand?

  • Locate the activity

    Where does drafting fit between approval and publication?

  • Distinguish scope and ambition

    Keep a first exploration separate from a promise of a complete system.

02 / See it in context
Meet Lucasa digital-content coordinator

Lucas considers a repeatable approach to adapting an approved brief into different formats. He maps the purpose and responsibilities before discussing automation.

Lucas and every example here are prepared learning material, not a real case or an AI-generated result.

03 / Work through it

My 5WH clarity map

  1. Describe the possibility with six questions

    Identify audience, activity, setting, timing, intended value, and a limited approach.

  2. Separate ideas from approved capabilities

    Note what is proposed, what is established, and what needs review or permission.

  3. Choose one next clarification

    Explore the most relevant question about audience needs, workflow, resources, or editorial responsibility.

04 / Test your thinking
Explore a question · no score

Look beyond the number of outputs.

Read the six answers and consider what would make the approach worthwhile.

“We can generate ten formats” leaves which question open?

Every option has an explanation. Open as many as you like — nothing is recorded or scored.
