2 things to look at
- 12 days oldThe repository was created 12 days ago. New is not bad, but a brand new repository carrying a familiar-sounding name is the shape a typosquat arrives in, and there has been no time for anyone else to find a problem with it.
- 0 stars0 stars. Stars are a popularity signal and not a quality one, but at this level it is likely that nobody has read this closely except its author, and you would be relying on your own review.

Groundledger discovery loop. Strategy language stays qualitative unless a number
is ledgered under Grounding Law (../blog-engine/references/grounding.md).

dial | Orbit Dial — visibility + revenue scorecard |
shelf | Provenance Shelf — bibliography + stat registry |
field | Signal Field — recent discourse brief |
cluster | Intent-pure URL graph |

ORBIT stages
| Stage | Question |
|---|---|
| Observe | What jobs are buyers finishing? |
| Reinforce | Where are we corroborated off-site? |
| Build | What owned asset earns trust + extraction? |
| Instrument | How will we know it worked? |
| Transmit | What learning feeds the next cycle? |
Surfaces
Owned site · classic search · AI answers · community · profiles/directories · video/audio · social (social-cast) · sales-assisted · paid landing (when relevant).
Pick the surface that moves the next business outcome.
Stage Triage (triage)
- Name business outcome
- Inventory evidence
- Mark blocked stage O/R/B/I/T
- Smallest unblock asset
- Claims needing verification
Artifact: references/surface-bet.md (bet card) when Build is next.
Echo Map (echo)
Inventory where brand facts already appear (reviews, profiles, communities, video, directories). Gap list for Reinforce. See references/echo-map.md.
Close Path (close)
Decision-page brief: action, proof, objections, measurement event. Audit existing BOFU pages the same way. references/close-path.md.
Question Spray (spray)
Expand one seed job into fan-out questions / sub-intents; cluster into hub/spoke candidates. No fake volume numbers.
Entity Concord (concord)
Canonical name, aliases, forbidden variants; check site + profiles + key mentions for drift.
Place Signal (place)
Local/profile pack: categories/services consistency, NAP corroboration, service-page jobs, review themes. references/place-signal.md.
Orbit Dial (dial)
Extends dual scorecard with visibility vs revenue dials. references/scorecard.md.
Provenance Shelf (shelf)
Project bibliography + stat registry feeding blog-engine claim ledgers. references/provenance-shelf.md.
Signal Field (field)
Last-N-days discourse sketch from search (no private API required): themes, objections, phrases for VOICE/CAST. API-free WebSearch with site operators when useful.
Path Cards (playbook)
saas · services · media · local · ecommerce · b2b · affiliate — references/playbooks.md.
Evidence law
No unsourced public statistics. Prefer qualitative strategy over fake benchmarks.
