What's included
Every piece of content is a task with a publish date, a channel, a content type, an approval state and a link to the draft. Groups are the content pillars, the calendar is the editorial view, the board is the pipeline, and the Content view lists everything in production by campaign and channel. Long-form pieces feed the social posts cut from them, so a slipping article visibly delays its promotion.

3 links, so a slip shows up where it lands
The longest chain in the template. Every link is real: the Gantt draws it, the Impact view scores it, and the simulator moves everything downstream when you delay a task.
