2) Ownership map
Assign planning, production, QA, and measurement owners. Publish the map where the team already works.

refresh priority scoring(entry gate)canonical + redirect map QA(delivery gate)index coverage monitoring(review gate)
4) Delivery rhythm
Ship in small increments. After each release, add links to the SEO hub and sibling cluster pages.
