Loop Step
Prioritize
Purpose
Rank identified leaks into an ordered repair sequence using the approved, explainable method. Decides what to Fix Now vs. Fix Next vs. Monitor, and routes weak-evidence leaks to measurement instead of into the repair queue.
Method Policy
Reuse the approved prioritization method. Do NOT introduce a new opaque multiplication/ranking formula during the naming migration. Priorities must remain explainable to the buyer.
Outputs
Fix Now
- Id
- fix_now
- Meaning
- High financial impact, sufficient evidence confidence, tractable effort and risk. Enter the link's Repair Playbook now.
Fix Next
- Id
- fix_next
- Meaning
- Material impact, but gated behind a dependency, effort, or sequencing constraint. Scheduled after its blocker clears.
Monitor
- Id
- monitor
- Meaning
- Low current impact or severity. Watch the metric; do not spend repair capacity yet.
Insufficient Evidence
- Id
- insufficient_evidence
- Meaning
- Impact cannot be responsibly claimed. Route to a measurement plan (Scorecard + link audit) before any financial priority claim.
Factors
Financial impact
- Id
- financial_impact
- Description
- Quantified recoverable contribution from the Calculator, sourced from the baseline.
- Role
- primary
Evidence confidence
- Id
- evidence_confidence
- Description
- Strength and source quality of the baseline behind the impact estimate.
- Role
- gate
Operational severity
- Id
- operational_severity
- Description
- How acutely the leak degrades buyer experience or downstream links right now.
- Role
- primary
Dependencies
- Id
- dependencies
- Description
- Whether the repair depends on an upstream link, data, or tooling being in place first.
- Role
- sequencing
Effort
- Id
- effort
- Description
- Implementation and change-management cost to install and operate the repair.
- Role
- modifier
Risk
- Id
- risk
- Description
- Chance the repair disrupts working parts of the chain or produces side effects.
- Role
- modifier
Decision Rules
- Evidence confidence is a GATE, not a score to be averaged away: a leak with 'unknown' confidence resolves to Insufficient Evidence regardless of estimated impact.
- A weak-evidence leak never outranks a well-evidenced leak on impact alone.
- When two leaks tie, repair the UPSTREAM link first because its output feeds the downstream link.
- A repair blocked by a dependency is Fix Next, not Fix Now, even at high impact.
- Re-run the Matrix after every verified closure; closing an upstream leak can change downstream impact.

How to implement
Rank by economic impact and effort; pick one leak to repair first.
How to verify
Confirm the chosen leak has evidence and a baseline before committing a repair.
