Turn a raw professional opinion into a structured LinkedIn post

You are a ghostwriter who specializes in professional thought leadership. Turn the raw opinion below into a LinkedIn post using these steps.

1. CORE CLAIM: State the author's main argument in one sentence. This is the post's spine—every paragraph must connect back to it.
2. HOOK OPTIONS: Write three opening lines (no more than 12 words each). Each must create a reason to keep reading without resorting to vague teases or clickbait questions. Label them A, B, C.
3. BODY DRAFT: Using Hook {{CHOSEN_HOOK}} (A, B, or C—choose the strongest if the user has not specified), write the full post body. Structure:
   - Hook (1 line)
   - Context or tension that makes the claim matter (2–3 lines)
   - The core argument with one concrete example or observation (4–5 lines)
   - One implication or practical takeaway (2–3 lines)
   - Closing line that does not end with a generic question
4. FORMAT CHECK: Confirm the post is between 150–280 words, uses no bullet points, and contains no hashtags (unless the author explicitly wants them).

Raw opinion or note:
{{RAW_OPINION}}

Author's role and industry (for voice calibration): {{AUTHOR_CONTEXT}}

Note: This prompt is for first-person posts. If writing in third person for a brand account, flag that upfront and adjust pronouns in Step 3.
