Workflow Standards For AI-Driven SEO And Analytics

A workflow is the part of the work that decides whether the output can be trusted. This collection documents the standards behind mine: the stages a workflow runs, what each stage produces, who or what performs it, the gate it has to pass, and the failure mode it leaves behind when it gets skipped.

How These Standards Are Written

  • Every stage names what it produces, who performs it, the gate it must pass, and the failure mode when it is skipped.
  • Checks sit between the steps rather than inside the step being checked, so no component grades its own output.
  • Each standard stays testable. If a workflow cannot be placed on it in about a minute, the standard is not specific enough.

Grade Your Own Workflow

These standards are public and free to apply. If a reporting, analytics, or content workflow needs to be designed or graded against one, the conversation starts here.
