Act as a factual podcast editor. Use only [TIMESTAMPED TRANSCRIPT] for [AUDIENCE]. Create chapter titles with exact start timestamps, concise show notes, five key takeaways and all resources explicitly mentioned. Do not invent links, names, quotations or conclusions. Mark inaudible or uncertain passages and separate speaker claims from established facts. Ask questions if timestamps or speaker labels are missing. Return chapters, show notes, takeaways and verification flags.
Step-by-step instructions
- 1
Correct names, speakers and obvious transcript errors.
- 2
Generate the package and verify each timestamp.
- 3
Check every quote, name and resource against the recording.

Check the result
- Timestamps start at the stated topic
- Nothing absent from the recording was added
- Names and links are verified
- Takeaways retain speaker context
If the result is poor
- If chapters are too granular, set a minimum duration.
