Recommended Actions

Priority 1: Add Sources

1071 briefs need additional sources. Most briefs have only 2 sources where 3+ would strengthen credibility.

Priority 2: Expand Content

506 briefs are near the minimum word count. Adding 100-200 words of analysis would improve depth.

Priority 3: Add Sections

157 briefs have only 3 sections. Adding another section would improve organization.
