What Ebook Discovery does
Runs a structured discovery conversation across 11 entry modes (content audit, expertise extraction, contrarian positions, zettelkasten mining, etc.) to surface ebook candidates from a creator's published content or unpublished expertise. Maintains a living tracker document across sessions with High/Med/Low viability ratings and hands qualified candidates off to a separate Concept Development step. Triggers on requests to brainstorm or discover ebook ideas from existing material, not to validate or draft a single already-chosen idea.
