Quick clarification needed
I want to confirm whether you want a hypothetical, stylized news article about “IBM to acquire Confluent for $11B” or a factual report based on verified, attributed sources. I don’t have confirmed, real-time browsing capability to verify breaking deals, and I must avoid inventing facts, dates, or quotes.
Options I can produce
Choose one of the following and I’ll write the full 600–800 word piece in a journalistic style with H2/H3 headings, analysis, expert perspective, and SEO elements.
1) Hypothetical / scenario-based article
I will write a news-style analysis framed clearly as hypothetical or “if true” (e.g., “If IBM were to acquire Confluent for $11B…”). This lets me include strategic context, product and market implications, and commentary without asserting unverifiable facts.
2) Report-style article based on your source(s)
Provide one or more credible sources (Reuters, Bloomberg, WSJ, company press release links, or quotes). I will write a factual news story citing those sources and include dates, deal terms, and direct attributions.
3) Draft from reported rumors (you accept caveats)
If you want a story based on media reports, tell me which outlets to rely on and I’ll attribute accordingly (e.g., “According to Bloomberg…”). I won’t invent unnamed sources or fabricated quotes.
Other preferences
Please indicate whether you want a tone matching TechCrunch or The Verge, and whether to include named analyst quotes (real analysts with sourced comments) or generalized expert perspectives. Once you confirm, I’ll produce the requested JSON-formatted article with title, meta description, HTML content, and tags.
