description	Convert SCB scoring output into a prioritized remediation and re-evaluation plan with veto-first sequencing, pillar-weight impact sizing, and explicit recheck checkpoints.

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

Field	Required	Default	Notes
scb_report	Yes	-	Item-level scores, pillar scores, veto status
profile_manifest	Yes	-	From scb-profile-router
implementation_window_days	No	30	Planning horizon
team_capacity	No	medium	low / medium / high
risk_tolerance	No	balanced	strict / balanced / aggressive

Scoring Mode & Aggregation Contract

Planner must preserve and echo scoring scope from input:

• score_mode
• covered_items
• selected_profile_items
• triggered_extension_items
• 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 plan_status as blocked_until_veto_fixed.

Step 3: Compute Priority Score

Recommended formula:

• priority = gap_size x pillar_weight x risk_multiplier x confidence

Where:

• gap_size = target_score - 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

1. Validate scb_report completeness
2. Validate profile_manifest scope and weights
3. Normalize issue list
4. Detect active veto blockers
5. Compute weighted priority
6. Group tasks into remediation batches
7. Define acceptance checks for each batch
8. Set recheck cadence and threshold
9. Export markdown roadmap
10. Export JSON execution plan

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

Integration with Other Skills

Typical SCB chain:

2. scoring run using seo-content-benchmark + scb-rubric-guidelines
3. scb-execution-planner
4. content-improvement-blueprint and technical-remediation-guide (when needed)

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
