Backlog Prioritization

Ordering the backlog so the most valuable work comes first — every item scored with the agreed model and read through a second lens, then ordered and cut against capacity. The work runs from merging the export and scoring each item from its own description, through a draft order taken straight from the scores in which every move a person makes is recorded with its reason, until the final order is written up with a file the tracker can import.

Its purpose is to keep judgment in the order while making it visible. A backlog ordered by feel cannot be defended when someone asks why their item sits below the line; one ordered purely by score hides the calls that were actually made.
