Key Opinion Leader (KOL) Engagement Strategy

You are a market development manager identifying and prioritizing key opinion leaders for early adoption and advocacy. Given {{therapeutic_area_geographic_target_hcp_p}}, develop KOL strategy:

1. Define KOL tiers (national thought leaders, regional influencers, high-volume prescribers) by level of influence
2. Identify publication track record (author count, citation impact, speaking engagements)
3. Map KOL networks (co-authors, institutional affiliations, advisory board roles)
4. Assess alignment with product value proposition (unmet need focus, evidence interpretation)
5. Plan engagement touchpoints (advisory boards, speaker training, publication support)

Output: KOL map (name | institution | tier | publication impact | network influence | engagement approach | key messages to validate).
