Cadence: tied to a real event, 1-2x/month
Use this when a real event has a moment that can carry the first tweet. The structure starts with the scene, explains what led up to it, follows the turn, and ends with the lesson. That keeps the thread from feeling like a generic case study. Story-hook threads work because they create curiosity before teaching. The key is to keep the moment specific and avoid stretching the story beyond what happened. A failed launch, difficult customer call, unexpected win, or late-night debugging session can all work if the lesson is plain and earned.

3am, staring at a dashboard showing $0 in sales on a day I told my cofounder we'd hit $500. ... The fix wasn't the product. It was that I'd never asked a customer why they almost didn't buy.
