Expedify AI Content Engine — build tracker

The engine writes ready-to-build page files — facts verified against government and embassy sources, then human-approved — which the Expedify Astro build takes live. It never publishes by itself.

What the engine is waiting on — each chip counts rows that need a human and names the role that owns it. Open: Which existing components are retained, repaired, or retired? AP · Which single traveler scenario becomes the golden slice? APPROVE

Roles: Expedify / site = decisions and access from the client side · Owner = owner approvals · Content ops = our content operations team.

Phases

Phase A — Authority and salvage baseline

Complete

5/5 steps

Gate: the owner approves the salvage boundary and minimum viable architecture.

Steps
  • Make the Obsidian vault the canonical build record.
  • Define the tracker as a derived investor view.
  • Inventory the existing engine, infrastructure dependencies, tests, data stores, and active services.
  • Produce a retain / repair / retire matrix with evidence.
  • Record the reproducible baseline and unresolved blockers.

Phase B — Golden vertical slice

Complete

4/4 steps

Gate: one page passes end to end with every material claim traceable to supporting evidence.

Steps
  • Select one page type and one high-value, bounded traveler scenario: Japan driving guide for an ordinary traveler holding a foreign driving licence.
  • Build immutable evidence receipts and typed, scoped claims for the slice; 15 contract tests pass and the reviewer model approved the bounded contract.
  • Compile the page without allowing a model to rewrite hard facts; the draft-only Astro fixture passes seven compiler tests and the reviewer model review.
  • Pass deterministic checks and independent the reviewer model review against real authoritative evidence; final verdict PASS with zero blockers.

Phase C — Repeatability and local-worker qualification

Complete

3/3 steps

Gate: the qualified worker path meets pre-approved thresholds across repeated runs.

Steps
  • Run the golden slice repeatedly through the local worker lanes.
  • Measure locked-claim integrity, no-hard-fact output, format validity, availability, latency, and external cost.
  • Add only controls justified by observed failures: an exact approved bridge set, strict output validation, and format-only retry with first-attempt metrics retained.

Phase D — Small validation cohort

In progress

1/3 steps

Gate: the cohort meets pre-registered quality and outcome thresholds before scale.

Steps
  • Select a small cohort with explicit commercial and search rationale.
  • Require per-page approval and manifest-matched preview builds.
  • Measure indexation, impressions, conversions, defects, and review burden.

Phase E — Bounded scale and lifecycle

Pending

40/44 steps

Gate: each added capability passes its own falsifiable acceptance test.

Steps
  • Parameterize only the proven page families.
  • Add source-change refresh, consolidation, retirement, localization, and visibility monitoring in that order.
  • Enforce publish-rate, change-rate, and human-review capacity limits.
  • Integrate Germany's reviewed source-links handoff as integration 12 without resolving a blocker.
  • Build and verify the isolated noindex preview and obtain an the reviewer model zero-blocker PASS.
  • Admit only Germany's pending sources-note rewrite against integration 12, with no page mutation in the admission gate.
  • Execute only the exact admitted Germany note replacement and retain all unrelated blockers.
  • Build integration 13, refresh completed pending-disposition state, and verify the isolated noindex preview.
  • Regenerate the residual-blocker inventory from integration 13 before selecting the next admission.
  • Admit a zero-mutation RETAIN_AS_IS decision for Germany's empty fuelParking section.
  • Execute the reviewed structural decision without a page mutation and remove only the exact Germany blocker.
  • Build integration 14 with a hash-bound structural-decision overlay and an unchanged Germany page.
  • Regenerate residual inventory 08 from integration 14.
  • Admit only the reviewed residual_truth:japan unit without page mutation authority.
  • Execute only the reviewed Japan residual-truth dispositions and retain all excluded-unit blockers.
  • Build and review integration 15 with the new Japan metadata-and-heading blocker preserved.
  • Regenerate residual inventory 09 from reviewed integration 15.
  • Admit the exact Japan copy-consistency rewrite without page mutation in the admission gate.
  • Execute and independently review the exact Japan copy-consistency rewrite.
  • Build and review integration 16, including an honest cohort-wide operation-count semantics label.
  • Regenerate residual inventory 10 from reviewed integration 16 before selecting the next admission.
  • Admit Italy residual-truth dispositions without page mutation authority, keeping claim-bound, attribution, commercial, and Germany evidence-gated scope excluded.
  • Execute only the reviewed Italy residual-truth operations, preserve both lineage-bound fuelParking bullets, and replace only the residual blocker with the predeclared copy-consistency blocker.
  • Build Integration 17 with only Italy advanced, verify the isolated noindex preview, and obtain the reviewer model approval.
  • Regenerate residual inventory 11 from reviewed Integration 17 and route the new Italy structural/copy blocker explicitly.
  • Create a zero-mutation admission for section_semantics:italy, preserving both reviewed bullets and the live parser/preview contract.
  • Execute the admitted Italy heading/parser/route alignment in a new handoff, verify the rendered H2 and both bullets, and obtain the reviewer model approval.
  • Build Integration 18 with only Italy advanced, bind the durable execution preview, and obtain the reviewer model approval.
  • Regenerate residual inventory 12 from reviewed Integration 18 and select the next smallest authority-safe unit.
  • Create a zero-mutation Italy copy-consistency admission over the exact ten pinned copy targets, preserving all claims, evidence, section semantics, parser, and route.
  • Execute the exact ten Italy copy rewrites in a new handoff, regenerate the export and isolated preview, and obtain the reviewer model approval.
  • Advance only Italy into Integration 19, bind the reviewed execution and durable preview, and obtain the reviewer model approval.
  • Regenerate the residual-blocker inventory from reviewed Integration 19 and select the next smallest authority-safe unit.
  • Create a zero-mutation Germany residual-truth admission that exhaustively inventories candidates, reconstructs claim binding, and preserves all adjacent authority lanes.
  • Execute only the admitted Germany residual-truth operations in a new handoff, prove the blocker replacement and preserved scopes, rebuild the isolated preview, and obtain the reviewer model approval.
  • Advance only Germany into Integration 20, bind its reviewed execution and durable preview, and obtain the reviewer model approval.
  • Regenerate the residual-blocker inventory from reviewed Integration 20 before admitting Germany copy consistency.
  • Create a zero-mutation Germany copy-consistency admission over the exact ten reviewed fields and obtain the reviewer model approval.
  • Execute the ten admitted Germany copy operations, rebuild the isolated preview, and obtain the reviewer model approval.
  • Advance only Germany into Integration 21, bind its reviewed execution and durable preview, and obtain the reviewer model approval.
  • Regenerate residual-blocker inventory 15 from reviewed Integration 21 and select the next authority-safe unit.
  • Capture and admit official public evidence for the Germany EU-licence-without-IDP question, with no page mutation and the reviewer model approval.
  • Create a separately reviewed zero-mutation page admission for the exact Germany EU-licence FAQ answer.
  • Execute only that admitted FAQ rewrite, bind the new claim and evidence bundle, rebuild the isolated preview, and obtain the reviewer model approval.

Decisions & inputs

  • ?Which existing components are retained, repaired, or retired? APPROVED: selective salvage per [[salvage-audit-2026-09-04]].
  • ?Which single traveler scenario becomes the golden slice? APPROVED: Japan driving guide for an ordinary traveler holding a foreign driving licence.
  • ?Who approves technical factual/legal gates during the build? APPROVED: the reviewer model as independent reviewer; the owner is not the technical reviewer.
  • ?What exact Astro handoff contract is approved? APPROVED: [[reviews/phase-d-handoff-contract-the reviewer model-2026-09-04]] pins the draft-only YAML-to-Markdown-to-Astro path for partial verdict and requirements fixes.
