Practical reproducible process:
1) Create a document map (chapters + target word counts; chunk at 500–2,000 words).
2) Build a section template: purpose, key points, required evidence, tone, word target.
3) Prompt ChatGPT per chunk with template + overlapping context (200–500 tokens) to draft.
4) Every 3–5 chunks, generate a roll-up summary to reconcile facts and gaps.
5) Final pass: extract inline citations, produce reference list, then verify sources externally.
