Story, education + interest framework

Turn the resource into a useful story

01

Open with the tension inside this evidence: Pin version and retain JSON outputs.

02

Let the reader inspect c2patool; translate what it shows, who produced it and what it cannot prove.

03

End with one action for A2, A3: save, compare, question or apply the source.

Educational payoff

By the end, the reader should understand how c2patool can inform a decision—and where its open-source provenance CLI evidence stops. It gives the reader something concrete to inspect, compare, test, or create.

Interest device

Open with a concrete creator dilemma, reveal the source, then invite the reader to test the idea against their own work. The reveal is c2patool, not a generic stock illustration.
