# Answer-First Content (AFC)

Writing structured to give the answer up front, then context.

Inverts the journalistic 'lede' pattern: answer in the first sentence, expand below. Optimized for both AI extraction (which often only consumes the first paragraph) and reader scanning. Especially useful for FAQs, glossaries, and how-to content.
