Template Selection Logic

FAII chooses templates automatically based on:

1. Keyword intent - What the searcher wants to accomplish
2. Gap type - What kind of visibility is missing
3. Competitor content - What format competitors use
4. Search volume - Higher volume may warrant deeper content
5. Topic complexity - Simple topics get shorter formats

​

Override selection
