Align360 — System Corrections Log & Reconciliation Protocol

1 Pre-Build Reconciliation Protocol

Why this exists: The audit form shipped without cross-referencing gaps.json — 2 important gaps and 5 nice-to-haves were completely missed. This protocol prevents that class of error for every future build step.

Before Building Any Artifact

1

Read gaps.json — Check all open gaps. List which ones this artifact should address. Document which ones are out of scope and why.

2

Read this corrections log — Check for any corrections that affect the artifact being built. Has the template changed? Are there known stale references?

3

Check the boarding pack template — If the artifact maps to a template section, verify it covers all required fields. Missing fields = explicit decision, not accidental omission.

4

Produce a coverage matrix — Before writing code/HTML, list every gap/field with COVERS / OUT-OF-SCOPE / DEFERRED. This becomes the artifact's reconciliation receipt.

After Building Any Artifact

5

Update this corrections log — Add coverage status to the Audit Form Coverage Matrix (Section 6) or add a new section if the artifact type is new.

6

Update boarding pack — If the artifact resolves a gap or fills a template field, update the boarding pack accordingly.

7

Republish this page — This is the living canonical reference. Stale corrections logs defeat the purpose.

Skill-Level Integration (Future)

8

Build a reconciliation-checker skill — Reads gaps.json + corrections-log + template, produces a coverage report, and blocks builds that have unacknowledged gaps. This is the automated version of steps 1-4.

9

Embed in boarding-orchestrator — The orchestrator's 24-card kanban should include a "reconciliation gate" card that fires the checker before any L3 build artifact is published.

2 Rubric Inventory

DEPLOYED GOLDEN + SHARP — Universal (All Experts)

Athio's expert-agnostic quality standard. Applied to every clone via rubric-builder and clone-tester. Scores substance (GOLDEN) and impact/timing (SHARP).

GOLDEN — Content Substance (5 pts max)
G	Genuine	Not performative, not derivative. Passes "who else could have written this?" test.
O	Original	Adds something new to the category. Not a reskin of existing advice.
L	Leveraged	Small input, big output ratio. Efficient use of reader's attention.
D	Directed	Clear vector and purpose. Reader knows exactly what to do differently.
E	Exceptional	Stands out from category peers. Would be noticed in a crowded feed.
N	Needle-Moving	Changes behavior, not just thinking. Creates action, not agreement.

SHARP — Impact & Timing (5 pts max)
S	Small-Input-Big-Result	Minimal effort from user, maximum transformation.
H	High-Contrast-Insight	Before/after mental shift. See what they couldn't see before.
A	Action-Ready	User can act TODAY with what they already have.
R	Resonates-Now	Relevant to current season, not theoretical future state.
P	Perfect-Timing	Right message, right moment. Contextual appropriateness.

Skills: rubric-builder, clone-tester · Pass threshold: 7/10 combined · Samuel's scores: GOLDEN 9.56, SHARP 9.19

DEPLOYED FORGE + SHIFT — Expert-Specific (Samuel Ngu)

Samuel's custom quality framework, extracted via 3-path convergence protocol (Path B won at 98%). Measures input quality gates (FORGE) and transformation outputs (SHIFT).

FORGE — Input Quality Gates (5 dimensions)
F	Forged-Through	Content must come from lived experience, not theory.
O	Ownership-Anchored	User takes responsibility for their situation.
R	Root-Narrative	Gets to the real story beneath surface symptoms.
G	Gravity-Bearing	Carries real weight and consequence.
E	Entry-Preserved	Meets the person where they actually are.

SHIFT — Transformation Outputs (5 dimensions)
S	Sovereignty-Restored	User regains agency over their own decisions.
H	Hardship-Reframed	Past pain becomes fuel, not anchor.
I	Inertia-Broken	Stuck becomes moving. Action replaces paralysis.
F	Fellowship-Seeded	Community connections form. Not isolated.
T	Tenderness-Preserved	Vulnerability is honored, not armored over.

NOT BUILT Hook / Body / CTA / Format — Marketing Content (PRD 5)

Marketing content scoring engine from PRD 5 (Competitor Intelligence). Evaluates ads, posts, offers — not clone quality. This is Steps 7-10 platform-layer work.

Dimension	Weight	Evaluates
Hook	30%	Pattern interrupt, curiosity gap, relevance signal, emotional trigger, specificity
Body	25%	Value density, story structure, framework usage, proof elements
CTA	25%	Clarity, motivation alignment, friction reduction, urgency signals
Format	20%	Platform optimization, production quality, length, trend alignment

4 Boarding Pack Template Compliance

Template: plan.jasondmacdonald.com/template-boarding-pack (8 sections) vs. Actual: align360.asapai.net/boarding-pack (12 sections)

Template Section	In Actual?	Compliance	Missing Fields
1. Boarding Milestone Tracker	Yes	100%	None — enriched with v1/v2 delta
2. Expert Profile	Yes	75%	Bio (prose), Target audience, Unique framework (thin)
3. IP Inventory	Yes	80%	3B: decision logic, validation filter, governing values sub-fields
4. PRD 4 Module Mapping	ABSENT	0%	Entire section missing. 9 modules not mapped to sources/extraction status.
5. Build Phase Tracker	Yes	85%	ETA column absent, replaced by v1/v2 comparison
6. Pricing + Monetization	Yes	67%	Program pricing, Referral model (data exists in IP Inventory but not surfaced)
7. Onboarding Flow	Yes	83%	Step 6 (Phase progression, non-linear) not present
8. LLM Context Block	ABSENT	0%	Entire section missing. 11 machine-readable fields for AI context not present.

Bonus Sections (Exceed Template)

The actual boarding pack has 4 sections with no template analog. These are genuine v2 improvements:

Agentic Pipeline Architecture — 18-skill layer breakdown, extraction outputs, compiled artifacts
Clone Validation — Run #1 — 8-dimension scores, 27-scenario test results, deployment decision
FORGE+SHIFT Quality Framework — Dual framework with evidence counts and anti-patterns
Gap Analysis — 14-gap table with severity ratings and open/resolved status
