Dawn Bands · creative-led plan v2 · for approval

The image is the variable. The body completes it.

v1 held one picture and moved words. For statics the message lives in the picture, so v2 builds from the 13 winning-ad templates and adds the native-with-a-sign format. Sonnet 4.6 writes every word on an image or in a body; Opus specifies. Nothing is generated until this is OK'd.

Constants and gates

Constants
ADHD named on every unit · problem-aware only · control body (slop 4/6/7/9) as the body unless a unit specifies its own · PDP /products/wake-up-band-adhd · Facebook only · advantage_audience 0 · enhancements opt-out · $50/day floor per ad set · no verdict before day 7 · $3 LPV day-0 kill
Who writes what
Opus: concept, template, receipt, claim gate, the job of every element. Sonnet 4.6: every word on an image or in a body. Images: image-prompt-engineer → nano-banana-pro with a real reference locked first; rip-first for native photos, gen is the fallback.
Claim gates on images
No "no screen" · no "no app" · no proof number beyond the control's until you rule · price only after the $39.99/$49 drift is fixed · no invented outcome timelines · no "designed for ADHD brains" · no bare percentages · no invented authority · any review on an image must trace to a real order (Judge.me/Shopify export), never the PDP testimonial block until that block is verified
Every image
full-size text-in-image check · meta_preflight.py · contact sheet to you before staging

Batch S · statics from the winning templates

One ad set, 7 ads: the slop 4 control plus six templates. Body copy is the control on all seven. The read: which image template converts for her against slop 4.

02

Held back, with reason

  • #2 Solution exaggeration ("14+ HOURS. NO SWELLING."): needs an outcome number we can claim. We don't have one.
  • #5 Specific pain point ("LOSE THE MUFFIN TOP" + price slash): the price-slash device needs the price fixed first, and "stop being his alarm clock" is now HiStrips' CTA.
  • #6 Accidental outcome ("I accidentally lost 12 pounds at 52"): needs a real review with a real, odd number. Queue for when the review export exists.
  • #9 / #10 Offer formats: offer decisions are yours (2-pack, second band on us: 20% of buyers want a 2-pack, 27% an adult version).
  • #11 Bread / breakfast: analogy device; fails the poetry test for this avatar.
  • #12 Pubity: not held, moved. It is the native-sign shape, Batch N.

Batch N · native photo with a sign that is the callout

Your format. A real-looking photo of her world with a handwritten sign, sticky note or whiteboard in frame. The sign is the hook, in her or his hand. The body is a short native written through that door. One ad set, five ads. The read: which door's sign stops her on a native image.

Sign rules

The feeling or the handoff, never a scene of how she wakes him. ≤12 words. Handwriting, not type. Must read at feed size and at thumbnail. No brand mark on the sign. The band is in frame, never the subject. The photo must pass as a real photo in a mother's feed: natural aspect, EXIF stripped, no product lighting.

Bodies

Sonnet writes five short natives (180–260 words) from the control's spine: symptom → not a discipline problem → mechanism → what changes → sixty nights → link. Each enters through its door and ends on independence. Validator, said-out-loud, belief check, then you pick.

04

Batch C · the one copy test kept from v1

Independence close vs relief close on the slop 4 image, 3 ads. Runs after S and N read, or alongside if budget allows a third slot.

05

Production pipeline, per image

  1. Opus spec (this page)
  2. Sonnet writes the on-image words and the body
  3. validator + claims + belief check
  4. image-prompt-engineer builds the prompt with the real reference locked (8-27 product ref; rips for rooms)
  5. nano-banana-pro, or a rip
  6. full-size text-in-image check
  7. contact sheet to you
  8. meta_preflight.py
  9. stage disabled, --dry-run and --resume
  10. you flip
Launch

S and N live together: two ad sets, $50/day floors, 7 + 5 ads. C follows. Verdict day 7. What we learn: S = which template converts for her; N = which door's sign stops her on a native photo; C = relief close or independence close.

06

Prerequisites, yours

  • 1. A real-review export (Judge.me / Shopify) so S3 uses a traceable review. Without it, S3 is cut.
  • 2. Price: fix $39.99 vs $49 before any static carries a number.
  • 3. Proof number: one, in product-truth, or none on images.
  • 4. Strap length for a large 17-year-old wrist (S5 bullet), from the supplier.
07

What you're approving

  • Image as the variable for S, sign as the hook for N, C as the one copy test.
  • The template-to-unit mapping and the held-back list.
  • The five sign concepts and their doors.
  • The pipeline and the four prerequisites.
