THE SHORT ANSWER

Line 1 is the prediction with a date in it. Then the two or three signals it rests on, one line each. Then what the reader should do now if you are right — and one line on what would prove you wrong. The date and the falsifier are what make it credible.

An example.

EXAMPLE — written for a made-up recruitment consultant.

Rrecruitment consultantExample · Prediction

By 2028, most small firms will hire for a skill test first and a CV second. The signals: - Clients ask us for a task before they ask for references. - Candidates now send work samples without being asked. If I am right, this quarter: write a 30-minute task for your next hire. I am wrong if CV screening tools win back the trust of hiring managers.

The mistakes to avoid.

  • No date, so it can never be wrong.
  • Signals that are just opinions.
  • Nothing for the reader to do now.
