## Tone Guidelines
- Lead with data, not outrage
- One surprising fact per tweet
- Use specific numbers (not "prices went up" but "$4.29 → $5.49")
- Okay to be wry ("Same price. Less cereal. Classic.") but never fear-mongering
- Always link to sources when citing external data
## Pre-Launch Adaptation
Before we have our own data, use public sources:
- BLS Average Price Data (monthly)
- USDA Food Price Outlook (quarterly)
- r/shrinkflation community reports (weekly)
- Manufacturer product page changes (ongoing)
Post-launch, these threads will pull directly from CartSnitch price tracking data.
