Workstream Queue Selection Receipt

Purpose

This pre-authoring, candidate-only receipt gives Lee and downstream auto-orch stage workers a reproducible way to choose the next bounded documentation slice. It makes the comparison inputs, ordered workstream-balance rule, item decision, reader audience, intended outcome, and unresolved authority boundary visible before authoring begins. A reader can therefore reconstruct why the selected item is Internal Knowledge without treating this product evidence as approval, scheduling, publication, promotion, rollback, or platform authority.

Three-Queue Evidence

The comparison contains exactly Internal Knowledge, Employee Onboarding, and Customer Education. The queue records below preserve the current product registry evidence, including age, age rank, eligibility, underserved status, scheduling tier, evidence source and locator, concrete selection or deferral reason, audience, intended outcome, and validation journey. The queue registry does not establish an independent queue-source identity or revision, so that gap remains explicit and no additional provenance is inferred.

Queue ID	Workstream	Queue age / rank	Eligibility	Evidence	Selection or deferral reason	Audience	Intended outcome	Validation journey
`internal`	Internal Knowledge	`3` / `3`	`eligible: true`; `underserved: true`; tier `1`	`artifacts/selection-preflight/repair-brief.json`; `scope.context_workstream and required_selection_rule.rule`	Selected: it is the oldest eligible underserved workstream in the highest eligible tier, before item-level scoring.	Lee and current company operators, including future Internal Knowledge playbook authors and independent readers	Give the mission operator a reproducible, bounded Internal Knowledge selection for the next documentation slice.	`journey.complete-three-queue-evidence`
`onboarding`	Employee Onboarding	`2` / `2`	`eligible: true`; `underserved: false`; tier `1`	`artifacts/selection-preflight/repair-brief.json`; `scope.comparison_workstreams`	Deferred: it is eligible but not underserved, so the ordered rule excludes it before item-level impact or feasibility.	Lee and current company operators comparing the Employee Onboarding queue	Keep Employee Onboarding visible in the comparison while the mission operator advances the selected Internal Knowledge slice.	`journey.complete-three-queue-evidence`
`customer`	Customer Education	`1` / `1`	`eligible: true`; `underserved: false`; tier `1`	`artifacts/selection-preflight/repair-brief.json`; `scope.comparison_workstreams`	Deferred: it is eligible but not underserved, so the ordered rule excludes it before item-level impact or feasibility.	Lee and current company operators comparing the Customer Education queue	Keep Customer Education visible as a non-selected comparison queue without widening the selected documentation slice.	`journey.complete-three-queue-evidence`

The sealed authority inputs remain read-only: sources/authority.json has authority revision 2026-08-08, lists source.naming-decision, source.documentation-boundary, and source.platform-delivery-contract, and sets employee_may_modify to false; registries/sources.json records those three sources as public-safe.

Selection Decision

The selected workstream is Internal Knowledge (internal) for Lee and downstream auto-orch stage workers. The ordered workstream-balance rule is: (1) retain the highest eligible scheduling tier; (2) within that tier, select the oldest workstream that is both eligible and underserved; and (3) consider item-level impact and feasibility only after the workstream is selected. All three queues are tier 1. Internal Knowledge is eligible, underserved, and has the oldest age rank, 3, so it is selected before item-level scoring.

The selected item is Failure-Triage Decision Guide, with impact: 4 and feasibility: 5. Employee Onboarding is not selected because it is not underserved at age rank 2; Customer Education is not selected because it is not underserved at age rank 1. Both remain visible, and neither deferral means the workstream is unimportant, infeasible, or permanently excluded.

The success hypothesis is: If the receipt preserves the exact three workstreams and applies the highest-tier, oldest underserved eligible rule before item-level impact or feasibility, Internal Knowledge and the Failure-Triage Decision Guide remain a reproducible next slice, while every non-selected queue remains visible with its reason.

Candidate Handoff

The handoff audience is Lee and downstream auto-orch stage workers, with future Internal Knowledge playbook authors and independent readers able to replay the evidence. The intended outcome is a reproducible, bounded Internal Knowledge candidate selection that carries the exact three-queue comparison into the next authoring stage. The validation journey is journey.replay-selection-decision in journeys/workstream-candidate-evidence-selection.json, supported by journey.complete-three-queue-evidence for the row comparison and journey.confirm-candidate-only-boundary plus journey.replay-traced-manifest for the handoff checks.

This is product evidence only and remains candidate-only and reversible. It does not schedule work, mutate queues, publish, promote, create a release pointer, roll back, or write a live directory. Platform-owned authority and transition attestations remain outside this receipt; the handoff recommends a bounded authoring slice and does not authorize any transition.

Acceptance Checks

AC-1 — Complete three-queue evidence: The reader verifies that the receipt contains exactly Internal Knowledge, Employee Onboarding, and Customer Education, and that every row preserves queue age, eligibility, deferral reason, audience, intended outcome, and validation journey, with the age-rank, underserved, and tier fields needed to replay the comparison.
AC-2 — Explicit selected-candidate decision: The reader applies the ordered rule, confirms Internal Knowledge as the selected workstream, and finds the selected candidate title Failure-Triage Decision Guide with impact 4, feasibility 5, the success hypothesis, and explicit deferral reasons for both non-selected workstreams.
AC-3 — Candidate-only boundary: The reader records that this contract is product evidence only and does not schedule work, mutate queues, publish, promote, create a release pointer, roll back, or write a live directory; platform-owned authority and transition attestations remain unresolved here.
AC-4 — Reader replay through a traced journey manifest: The reader opens the synchronized journey manifest, confirms its non-empty command allowlist, and replays the natural-language journeys whose traces_to values cover AC-1 through AC-4 without using an exploratory journey to replace required mission coverage.

These checks make the queue comparison, ordered item decision, candidate-only boundary, and manifest replay reconstructible from stable product paths. They do not authorize scheduling, queue mutation, publication, promotion, release-pointer creation, rollback, or live-directory writing.
