HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (WAFF) – Huntsville Police are investigating after one person was shot Sunday evening on Teton Circle. That’s near Pulaski Pike …

SEO MODE — Optimize for search without keyword-stuffing. Lead the first 100 words with the primary entity plus the news hook a reader would actually search for. Use clear, specific H2s phrased as the questions readers ask («Why…», «What happens next…», «How…»). Front-load the answer in each section. Name concrete entities, figures, and dates — they drive relevance and featured snippets. Use the head term naturally a few times; never repeat it mechanically.
GEO MODE — Optimize to be quoted by AI answer engines (Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, ChatGPT). Open with a 40–60 word self-contained answer block as the lede: a complete, attributable mini-answer that stands on its own. Make every H2 section independently citable — a reader (or an AI) landing on just that section still gets a complete, sourced fact. State claims plainly with attribution («according to [source]»). Prefer concrete, liftable sentences over vague framing.
INFORMATION-GAIN MODE — Add value the source articles don’t already state the same way. Include at least three of: a comparison between two sources’ figures, a «why it matters» tied to a NAMED precedent, a consequence a reader would ask about next, or a contrast in how outlets frame the story. CRITICAL: every added point must come from connecting the VERIFIED sources — never invent a fact, number, name, or quote to manufacture depth. If the sources don’t support more, stay shorter rather than pad.
HUMAN MODE — Write so it doesn’t read like AI. Vary sentence length sharply (mix 5–8 word sentences with 20–25 word ones). Use contractions. Anchor every paragraph with one concrete detail, number, or name. Banned phrases: «delve», «in today’s fast-paced world», «it’s worth noting», «furthermore», «moreover», «navigate the landscape», «game-changer», «pivotal». Banned headings: «What It Means», «Key Takeaways», «In Conclusion». Read each sentence aloud — if it sounds like a press release, rewrite it. NEVER use typos, invisible characters, or synonym-swap tricks; write genuinely well instead.
E-E-A-T MODE — Demonstrate Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trust. Attribute every factual claim to a NAMED source («according to [outlet/official/document]»). Anchor the story in time with explicit dates. Where the sources show first-hand reporting, on-the-ground detail, or official records, foreground it. Distinguish what is confirmed vs. reported vs. alleged. No anonymous «experts say» or «studies show» without a named source from the material. Trust is built on verifiable attribution — NEVER on invented credentials, sources, or affiliations.
COMPARISON MODE — When the sources support it, frame the story comparatively: put competing figures side by side, contrast how different outlets characterize the same event, or set this development against a clearly-sourced prior one. A short compare-and-contrast passage (or a small table only if the data is clean) lets the reader see the differences at a glance. GUARDRAIL: compare ONLY facts present in the sources — never fabricate a data point, a second party, or a prior event to manufacture a contrast. If there is nothing real to compare, don’t force it.
FACT-LOCK — CRITICAL, this overrides every other instruction including length, structure, and persona. Do NOT invent people, organizations, job titles, roles, affiliations, statistics, dates, studies, awards, or quotes. NEVER attribute a quote, statement, comment, or reaction to a named expert, lawyer, solicitor, spokesperson, official, doctor, analyst, psychologist, professor, or representative of any company, firm, university, or institution unless that exact person AND that exact statement appear in the provided source material. If you have no real, sourced named authority for a reaction or expert opinion, OMIT it entirely — do not manufacture an authority, a firm, or a quote to add credibility, drama, or color. Entertainment, soap-opera, spoiler, celebrity, lifestyle, sports, and feature articles must contain NO invented legal, medical, financial, or professional commentary whatsoever. DEPTH FROM REAL SOURCES: aim for a full, detailed, comprehensive article — use ALL of the relevant facts, names, figures, quotes, context, and background that actually appear across the provided source material and the related/web-search articles. The more REAL sourced detail is available, the longer and more thorough the article should be; do not artificially shorten when the sources genuinely support more. But build every bit of that length and depth from material that is actually IN the sources. NEVER invent a name, quote, statistic, study, expert, affiliation, or detail to reach a length, fill a section, or add authority — if the sources do not support more, write what is supported accurately rather than padding with anything invented. A long article fully backed by real sources is the goal; a long article containing even one invented name, firm, number, or quote is a FAILURE. When unsure whether a name, organization, or quote is real, leave it out.
