I have very few chess books but from what I have and the articles I have read online, I like Jeremy Silman's style :)

I'll admit I'm a sucker for Kamil Plichta's enthusiasm and terrible jokes. :D

Also - maybe Chessbook would be a good pairing for this? Marries the Stockfish analysis with frequency and lichess database. https://www.chessbook.com/

I like a lot the courses by Alex Colovic and Robert Ramirez. I found them really helpful for beginner to intermediate players. In particular the video explanations are so good. ChatGPT and Stockfish cannot reach such level!! Luckily!

Our silicon overlords might not approve of his Smith-Morra, but us mere mortals are no match for it!

A written blog series with breakdowns for every step along the proces maybe then? It could be really interesting to be able to reproduce and improve on your methods etc. I really think this has potential to be great content. Both as entertainment/research but also to engage with your community.
