# IMAGE_PROMPT: Verdachtskündigung

**Last Updated:** 2026-03-08

Use this template when creating `IMAGE_PROMPT.md` for a blog post. Fill Core Concept, Key Elements, Composition, and Mood first—these scaffold the final Prompt. The script (`generate-blog-featured-image.py`) extracts only the `## Prompt` section.

See [BLOG_FEATURED_IMAGE_STYLE_GUIDE.md](../../BLOG_FEATURED_IMAGE_STYLE_GUIDE.md) for topic mappings, anti-repetition rules, and composition picks.

**Before creating:**

1. Run `python3 v2/scripts/blog/audit-blog-image-scene-types.py --report-adjacent=3` to check scene diversity.
2. Identify **related topics** (posts sharing keyword space, e.g. fristlose-kuendigungen, betriebsbedingte-kündigung, abmahnung, arbeitsrecht).
3. Choose a scene type **different** from adjacent posts AND related topics. Document both in Scene Type section.
4. Match scene to **topic meaning** – not to a related outcome (e.g. Verdachtskündigung = suspicion, investigation, evidence gathering, not legal documents or termination).

## Scene Type

**DESK** (investigation/evidence gathering). Distinct from:
- fristlose-kuendigungen: ARCHITECTURAL (separation/division element)
- betriebsbedingte-kündigung: ABSTRACT (organizational structure/decision-making)
- aufhebungsvertrag: SUPPORT/REST (cozy home interior)
- abmahnung: ABSTRACT (layered procedural shapes)
- arbeitsrecht: DESK (legal documents, law books)

Related topics (kündigungsfrist, offboarding, arbeitsrecht, abmahnung) use DESK (legal documents), ABSTRACT, ARCHITECTURAL, or SUPPORT/REST. This uses DESK with investigation/evidence theme—conveys suspicion, evidence gathering, investigation process, documentation of suspicions—distinct from arbeitsrecht's legal documents theme.

## Core Concept / Metaphor

Verdachtskündigung = suspicion-based termination, investigation, evidence gathering, uncertainty—not proven fact, but strong suspicion requiring investigation. The process of gathering evidence, documenting suspicions, investigating before decision—not the termination itself, but the investigation phase.

## Key Elements (On-Theme, Concrete)

Desk with investigation/evidence gathering elements: organized notes, evidence documentation, investigation materials—conveys suspicion, evidence gathering, investigation process. Soft natural light, professional composition. No legal books (arbeitsrecht uses law books), no abstract shapes (abmahnung uses abstract), no separation element (fristlose-kuendigungen uses architectural separation). Conveys investigation, suspicion, evidence gathering without people or termination imagery.

## Why Not (Anti-Patterns)

Legal books, law documents (arbeitsrecht uses DESK with legal documents), abstract layered shapes (abmahnung uses ABSTRACT), architectural separation/division (fristlose-kuendigungen uses ARCHITECTURAL), cozy home interior (aufhebungsvertrag uses SUPPORT/REST), abstract organizational structure (betriebsbedingte-kündigung uses ABSTRACT), abstract nodes, flowing lines (generic), stacked blocks, vertical columns (generic), blue sphere, sundial, generic clock.

## Composition / Camera

Wide shot with shallow depth of field. Desk with investigation materials in focus, soft natural light. Focus on evidence gathering, investigation process—not termination or legal documents.

## Mood / Atmosphere

Investigative, professional, uncertain—suspicion, evidence gathering, investigation process.

## Prompt

CRITICAL: No text, letters, typography, signs, or readable content in the image.
Editorial photography style, natural texture, soft film-like quality with subtle grain. Professional desk scene conveying suspicion and investigation—scattered but organized notes with question marks and annotations, evidence documentation with highlighted sections, magnifying glass examining documents, paper trail suggesting careful investigation of suspicions, red flags or markers indicating areas of concern, timeline or sequence of events laid out. The scene suggests uncertainty and doubt—investigating suspicions before making a decision, not proven facts. Warm, directional natural light creating depth and shadows, emphasizing the careful examination process. Composition focuses on investigation materials arranged methodically—evidence being gathered and analyzed, not conclusions drawn. Conveys Verdachtskündigung (suspicion-based termination) through the investigation phase—gathering evidence, documenting suspicions, examining facts carefully before action—not termination, legal documents, or certainty. Wide shot with shallow depth of field, selective focus on key investigation elements. Professional, investigative atmosphere with subtle tension and uncertainty. No text, letters, typography, or readable content. Avoid: blue sphere, sundial, generic clock, floating pie chart, stock office with laptop, legal books, law documents, abstract layered shapes, architectural separation/division, cozy home interior, abstract organizational structure, abstract nodes, flowing lines, stacked blocks, vertical columns, pristine perfection, spotless desk, people, faces, hands, gavel, scales of justice, courtroom imagery.
