## See What Readers Want Before You Commission It

"What should we publish next — and what does our audience want that we've never given them?"

## Commissioning without the signal

The problem

- **A third of output is unread** The Guardian cut weekly output by a third after its own analytics showed nobody was reading a large share of it.
- **The archive is a dark library** Thousands of pieces that would still be read sit unsurfaced, because nothing connects what a reader wants now to what you already wrote.
- **Demand is visible, if you look** Readers tell you what is missing every day, in the searches that return nothing and the topics they reach for and cannot find.

## Readers tell you what to publish next. Most newsrooms cannot hear it.

What you see

Every day, readers search your site for things you have not written and leave when they do not find them. They reach for a topic from an article and find nothing connecting to it. Pieces in your archive that would still be read sit where no one can surface them. The Artificial Poets Platform collects all of it. Searches that returned nothing become a list of topics with proven demand. Reach patterns show which subjects readers move toward and which they abandon. The archive stops being a dark library, because a piece from three years ago is served whenever a reader today is reaching for it. The output is a view of demand your editors can commission against, built from what your readers already did rather than what a survey says they might.
