## How This Toolkit Works

This set of writing resources reorganizes Dr. Scharf's GTBOP presentation into a publication-ready structure. All content derives exclusively from the corrected transcript — no external information has been introduced.

| Document | Purpose |
|----------|---------|
| [Bulletin Outline](outline.md) | Publication structure with content notes, transcript pointers, and writing notes |
| [Reference Compendium](compendium.md) | Consolidated tables of insecticide classes, active ingredients, MOA groups, and terminology |
| [Source Guide](source-guide.md) | Maps publication sections to exact transcript locations and video timestamps |

### Using These Documents

The **Outline** is your drafting roadmap — it tells you what goes where and flags areas needing current updates with ⚠️ markers. The **Compendium** is your quick-reference sheet for verifying classifications and relationships while writing. The **Source Guide** tells you exactly where to look in the video or transcript to verify any specific claim.

⚠️ markers indicate content that may need updating since the 2017 presentation. These are flags for the subject matter experts, not corrections — the writing resources preserve what the speaker actually said.
