SCB Execution Planner

Operational planning layer for SCB remediation. Transforms score output into an implementation backlog with priority, owner-ready tasks, and verification gates.

Purpose

Turn SCB findings into execution:

• Prioritize veto and high-impact gaps first
• Convert item failures into actionable tasks
• Sequence fixes by effort and weighted ranking impact
• Define recheck cadence and pass criteria
• Produce implementation-ready markdown and JSON artifacts

Quick Start

Input: SCB score report + profile manifest + resource constraints Output: Prioritized remediation plan + recheck schedule + progress tracker Optional Scripts: Task exporter, issue template generator, status dashboard Time: 10-25 minutes per audit package

Required Inputs

Scoring Mode & Aggregation Contract

Planner must preserve and echo scoring scope from input:

• score_mode
• covered_items
• selectedprofileitems
• triggeredextensionitems
• missing_items

Planner-specific output fields:

• remediation_batches
• veto_blockers
• quick_wins
• impact_estimate
• recheck_plan
• completion_criteria

Workflow

Step 1: Parse and Normalize Findings

Read SCB inputs and standardize issue objects:

• item_id
• pillar
• current_score
• target_score
• veto_related
• evidence_links

Step 2: Run Veto-First Triage

Immediate blockers:

• IQ12, IA02, IA10, FC14
• EA08 when ymyl=true

If any veto is active, mark planstatus as blockeduntilvetofixed.

Step 3: Compute Priority Score

Recommended formula:

• priority = gapsize x pillarweight x risk_multiplier x confidence

Where:

• gapsize = targetscore - current_score
• pillar_weight from resolved profile manifest
• risk_multiplier increases for veto, YMYL, or legal/compliance risk
• confidence reflects evidence quality

Step 4: Build Remediation Batches

Batching logic:

• Batch 1: veto blockers and severe trust/intent failures
• Batch 2: high weighted gains (usually IA, EA, IQ depending on profile)
• Batch 3: UX/GE optimization and scalability improvements

Step 5: Add Verification Gates

For each batch define:

• acceptance checks
• sample evidence requirements
• re-score scope (partial or full)
• owner-ready checklist

Step 6: Emit Execution Plan

Produce markdown roadmap and machine-readable JSON plan.

Checklist

Detailed Planning Rules

Severity Bands

• Critical: veto item score 0 or legal/risk critical issue
• High: score 0-1 on high-weight pillar items
• Medium: score 2 on weighted pillars or score 0-1 on lower-weight items
• Low: score 3 with optimization opportunity to 4-5

Target Score Policy

• Veto items: target 4 minimum before re-entry
• Core weighted items: target 4 for top-2 weighted pillars
• Extension items: target 3-4 depending on implementation window

Recheck Policy

• Batch 1 complete -> immediate partial recheck on veto + directly related items
• Batch 2 complete -> focused recheck on top weighted pillars
• Batch 3 complete -> full-mode recheck using current score_mode

Markdown Roadmap

# SCB Remediation Roadmap
- Score Mode: Core 80 + Profile
- Current Total: 63 (Needs Work)
- Target Total: 78 (Near Ready)
- Active Veto: IA02

## Batch 1 (Days 1-7)
- IA02 SERP Format Alignment: rebuild structure to match dominant result format
- IQ12 Originality Gate: remove derivative blocks and add first-party evidence

Acceptance:
- Veto items cleared
- Updated evidence attached
- Partial recheck passed

## Batch 2 (Days 8-20)
- EA13 Citation hardening
- IQ05 Information Gain expansion
- IA11 SERP feature targeting updates

## Batch 3 (Days 21-30)
- UX04 summary enhancement
- GE11 snippet block optimization
- GE14 schema completeness

Common Planning Failures and Fixes

No Veto-First Handling

Problem: teams optimize UX/GE while veto remains active Fix: force blocked status until veto items meet target

Overloading One Sprint

Problem: too many medium tasks dilute high-impact work Fix: cap batch size by capacity and keep high-weight pillars first

Missing Evidence in Recheck

Problem: score changes are proposed without proof Fix: require evidence_links per task before re-evaluation

Next Steps

1. Ingest latest SCB report and profile manifest
2. Generate batch plan and assign owners
3. Execute Batch 1 and run partial recheck
4. Iterate through Batch 2 and Batch 3 until target criteria are met
