1.3 Current State - Core

Tier file - what this step includes at the Core tier (bands M/L). Runs on the audit kit.

Included

Everything in Focused, plus:

  • Full multi-strand audit: UX, content, technical/platform, accessibility & performance - each run from its kit checklist
  • Content quality sampling (top pages by traffic and by purpose), not just inventory
  • Migration risk register and redirect/URL inheritance list (technical strand run in full). Clarify discovers migration risk; Architect 2.2 turns it into migration tiers with volumes and the redirect matrix

Bounded at this tier: one property, up to 500 URLs and 25 template families, with content quality sampled at 40 items. Beyond any of those the excess is a priced variation or a move to Full, which already prices additional properties at +40-60%. The bound is what makes the fixed price honest: sampling content quality across 150 URLs and across 2,000 is not the same job.
