Story idea: AI sends most student founders to one campus. What is being built on the others? The angle: Ask AI where a student should build a company in Atlanta and it names every campus, then sends most of them to the same one. The Atlanta University Center, Georgia State, Emory and Kennesaw State all run programs. What comes out of them is a story AI has never been told. What the data says today: 3 of 8 universities AI names are never recommended by it. Georgia Tech takes 73% of every recommendation a university gets.

What helps a story travel
When a piece names an Atlanta organization, link to it. When it cites a number, say where it came from and when. Those two habits are what let AI follow a story back to its source.
