ACTIVATE: When creating Club-specific promotion, addressing teen skepticism, positioning YL at competitive schools.

This is the "how we show up" document. Sets behavioral guardrails for all generated content across all personas and channels. ACTIVATE: Always loaded for any content generation. This is the second layer in the voice cascade (after E1 Voice Print). CONNECTS TO: C2 (messaging guide), C3 (language guide), C4 (touchpoint guide), E1 (voice print) ENFORCE: All content must pass the C1 filter: Does this feel like Young Life? Does it match our brand character? If output feels generic, corporate, or off-brand, C1 is not being applied.

Micro-level voice control: which words to use, which to avoid, how CTAs should feel. ACTIVATE: Always loaded for any content generation. This is the third layer in the voice cascade (after E1 and C1). CONNECTS TO: C1 (character), C4 (touchpoint expression), E1 (voice print) ENFORCE: Word choices must follow this guide. Banned words/phrases should never appear. CTA style must match documented patterns. If output uses corporate jargon, C3 is not being applied. ELLA-MENT: C4 — Touchpoint Expression Guide GOVERNS: How the brand expresses itself by channel (email, social, events, ads, in-person, phone, website). Channel-specific voice calibration. ACTIVATE: When generating content for a specific channel. Load alongside C1 and C3 for any channel-specific output. CONNECTS TO: C1 (character), C3 (language), all output plays that specify a channel ENFORCE: Channel-specific norms must be followed. Instagram content should feel different from donor emails. If all channels sound the same, C4 is not being applied. ================================================================================ SECTION D: DOMAIN-SPECIFIC ELLA-MENTS ================================================================================ ELLA-MENT: D1 — Town Dynamics Profile GOVERNS: All locally-grounded content. Demographics, culture, faith landscape, economic patterns specific to Carbon County.

CONNECTS TO: A4 (PESTLE for macro context), A6 (headwinds/tailwinds for regional forces), all B-persona ICPs (for local audience specifics) ENFORCE: Content referencing Carbon County must use actual local data.

The region's transformational stories (Brooklyn, Madi, Keith, etc.) — used as proof, inspiration, and donor evidence. ACTIVATE: When any content needs a real story, testimonial, or impact example. Critical for donor communications, annual reports, social media, and church presentations. CONNECTS TO: All B-persona brand scripts (stories matched to persona), B5.X moments (stories mapped to moments), C2 (stories as messaging proof points) ENFORCE: Stories must be permission-granted, accurately represented, and appropriately matched to audience. Never fabricate or embellish. Student stories require extra sensitivity. ELLA-MENT: D4 — Regional Program Inventory GOVERNS: Program-specific content accuracy.

Critical for recruitment messaging, event logistics, and reporting.

Promoting inactive programs, referencing departed leaders, or misrepresenting capacity should be flagged. ================================================================================ SECTION E: CUSTOM / USER-LEVEL ELLA-MENTS ================================================================================ ELLA-MENT: E1 — Area Director Voice Print GOVERNS: The top of the voice cascade. Keith's personal voice — distinct from the YL brand voice. "Ted Lasso + Bob Goff + Small-Town Coach." ACTIVATE: Always loaded first in the voice cascade for any content that should sound like Keith personally. Especially critical for donor letters, personal social posts, prayer updates, and direct communications. CONNECTS TO: C1 (brand character — E1 adds personal layer on top), C3 (language guide — E1 may override specific word choices), 01-author-voice-profile.txt (detailed voice dimensions) ENFORCE: If E1 is loaded, output must sound like a specific person, not a brand. The test: "Would Keith actually say this?" If it sounds like it could come from any Area Director, E1 is not being applied strongly enough. ELLA-MENT: E2 — Content Pillars GOVERNS: Thematic consistency across all publishing. The 3-5 recurring themes the region consistently communicates around. ACTIVATE: When planning content calendars, designing social media strategy, choosing newsletter topics, or auditing content mix. CONNECTS TO: C2 (messaging pillars — content pillars are the local expression), A1 (positioning — pillars should reflect positioning) ENFORCE: Content should map to at least one pillar. Off-pillar content should be rare and intentional, not accidental drift. ELLA-MENT: E3 — Hashtag & SEO Strategy GOVERNS: Digital discoverability. Region-specific hashtags, search terms, social discovery strategy. ACTIVATE: When creating social media content, optimizing web content, designing digital campaigns, or auditing online presence. CONNECTS TO: E2 (content pillars — hashtags should reflect pillars), C4 (touchpoint expression for channel norms) ENFORCE: Hashtag usage should be consistent and strategic, not random.

CONNECTS TO: D1 (town dynamics for community context), D4 (program inventory for partner-linked programs), church-partnership-builder playbook ENFORCE: Partnership communications must reflect current relationship status. Cold outreach using warm language (or vice versa) damages relationships. ================================================================================ SUMMARY ================================================================================ Total Ella-ments with Instructions: 48 Section A (Company/Ministry): 8 Section B (Customer/Persona): 30 Section C (Brand): 4 Section D (Domain-Specific): 4 Section E (Custom/User-Level): 4 Pattern: Every ella-ment follows GOVERNS / ACTIVATE / CONNECTS TO / ENFORCE. Usage: When a play's knowledge sources table references an ella-ment, apply that ella-ment's GOVERNS instruction to control output, use ACTIVATE to confirm the ella-ment should be loaded, follow CONNECTS TO for related context, and run ENFORCE as a quality check before finalizing. ================================================================================ END OF CUSTOM ELLA-MENT INSTRUCTIONS ================================================================================
