Prioritization guide
Severity is an input. Priority is a decision.
Crawler severity alone cannot tell a team what to do first. Priority should combine how many valuable pages are affected, whether the finding is reliable, the search and user consequence, implementation reach, reversibility, and the cost of proving the result.

What the workflow must answer
Keep the operating question attached to the evidence.
Confirm the finding
Sample affected pages and test the rule’s interpretation before multiplying a false positive across the backlog.
Measure reach and value
Distinguish a template-wide defect from a low-value isolated page and account for pages central to discovery or conversion.
Include implementation risk
A reversible metadata change and an architecture-wide redirect rewrite should not share the same approval path.
Field guide structure
Move from definition to evidence to a testable next step.
A useful guide names the condition, the false-positive questions, the operational owner, and the proof needed to close the loop.

An accountable trail
A useful state says exactly what happened.
- 01Observed
The source evidence is recorded.
- 02Interpreted
The condition is reviewed in context.
- 03Decided
An authorized person chooses the next state.
- 04Applied
A supported destination accepts the action.
- 05Verified
The public result is read independently.
- 06Reported
The claim matches the available evidence.
Product truth
Automation prepares work. Authority stays visible.
- 01No hidden autopilot
Netrix does not publish AI drafts or apply SEO changes without an explicit authorized action.
- 02No optimistic verification
An accepted write and a confirmed public value remain different states, and an unreadable page stays unknown.
- 03No invented scope
Pages describe the product’s current boundary and name external providers or unfinished paths where they matter.
