# Initial Audit — 2026-05-01

## 1. Vault summary

- Total notes: 31
- Total folders: 16 (11 top-level + 5 sub: `Marketing/`, `Operations/`, `Projects/`, `Skills/`, `Templates/`)
- Notes per top-level folder:
  - `00_Inbox/`: 0
  - `01_Daily/`: 6
  - `02_Weekly/`: 0
  - `10_RateRight/`: 11
  - `11_OpsMan_LFCS/`: 4
  - `12_SiteOps/`: 3
  - `20_Personal/`: 1
  - `30_Goals/`: 1
  - `40_People/`: 0
  - `90_Reference/`: 0
  - `_System/`: 5
- Date range (mtime): 2026-03-13 → 2026-05-01
- Total word count: ~13,200

## 2. Structure check

- `_System/CLAUDE.md` does not name `90_Reference/` or `_Archive/`. Plan vs. actual:
  - `90_Reference/` exists, empty, not in plan → either add to plan or remove
  - `_Archive/` referenced by audit spec, does not exist → decide whether to create
- Empty folders that are in the plan: `00_Inbox/`, `02_Weekly/`, `40_People/`
- Folders that exist but aren't in the plan: `90_Reference/`
- No unplanned content folders.

## 3. Orphan notes

28 of 31 notes have zero backlinks and zero links out. Excluded from the orphan list: `Agent-Stack-MOC.md` (1 outlink), `01_Daily/2026-05-01.md` (1 backlink), `Kill-Flyio-Plan.md` (1 outlink, broken — see §5).

## 4. Suspected duplicates / near-duplicates

No content duplicates. Identical scaffolding stubs (worth knowing, not merging):

- 4 short folder-context `CLAUDE.md` files (`11_OpsMan_LFCS/`, `12_SiteOps/`, `20_Personal/`, `30_Goals/`) — identical body, only the heading differs. Each is a 32-word "Rocky to fill in" placeholder.
- 3 `README.md` stubs (`10_RateRight/`, `11_OpsMan_LFCS/`, `12_SiteOps/`) — identical "Stub — Rocky to fill in" pattern.
- 3 `_Log.md` stubs — identical empty-log skeletons.

## 5. Broken links

- `[[03-Operations/Email-Deliverability-Fix]]` in `10_RateRight/Projects/Kill-Flyio-Plan.md` (frontmatter `related:` field). The path `03-Operations/` does not exist; the intended target is almost certainly `10_RateRight/Operations/Email-Deliverability-Fix.md`. Likely migration artifact from the legacy `vault/04-Operations/` layout.

## 6. Naming inconsistencies

- `_System/Templates/Project_Log.md` uses underscore between words; sibling templates are single words (`Daily.md`, `Weekly.md`, `Person.md`) and the broader vault convention is hyphenated PascalCase (`Agent-Stack-MOC.md`, `Email-Deliverability-Fix.md`, `Kill-Flyio-Plan.md`). Suggest: rename to `Project-Log.md`.
- Top-level RateRight files mix two case styles: `ALL-CAPS-HYPHEN` (`COO-TO-HQ.md`, `HQ-TO-COO.md`, `README.md`, `ROADMAP.md`, `CLAUDE.md`) versus `Pascal-Hyphen` in subfolder content. The split reads as "system/role files vs content" — defensible but undocumented. Codify in `_System/CLAUDE.md` or pick one.

## 7. Misfiled notes

- `10_RateRight/Skills/Claude-Code-Automation-Guide.md` → suggested destination: `90_Reference/`. Reason: content is generic Claude Code research (scheduled tasks, hooks, agents) reusable across all projects, not RateRight-specific. The file even contains a stale "Save to: RateRight-HQ/05-Skills/..." breadcrumb from an earlier layout.

## 8. Missing frontmatter

Counts of notes missing one or more of `title` / `created` / `tags`:

- `01_Daily/`: 6 / 6
- `10_RateRight/`: 11 / 11 (one file has FM but lacks `title`)
- `11_OpsMan_LFCS/`: 4 / 4 (one file has FM but lacks `title` + `tags`)
- `12_SiteOps/`: 3 / 3
- `20_Personal/`: 1 / 1
- `30_Goals/`: 1 / 1
- `_System/`: 5 / 5

Total: 31 / 31. Only 2 notes have any frontmatter at all.

## 9. Stale notes

None. Oldest mtime in vault is 2026-03-13 — well inside the 6-month window.

## 10. Three reorganisation proposals

1. **Wire READMEs into project graphs + fix the one broken link.** Make each `1X_*/README.md` a Map-of-Content linking to the folder's notes (`ROADMAP`, `_Log`, subfolder MOCs). Fix `[[03-Operations/Email-Deliverability-Fix]]` → `[[Email-Deliverability-Fix]]` in `Kill-Flyio-Plan.md`.
   - Why: 28 of 31 notes are orphans. A handful of MOC links convert most of the vault from a folder-of-files to a navigable graph.
   - Effort: small.
   - What could go wrong: README rot — if Rocky doesn't update them as files are added, they go stale fast and become misleading. Mitigation: keep them short (link list, not prose).

2. **Codify naming + frontmatter standard in `_System/CLAUDE.md`, then upgrade the four templates.** Decide minimum FM (`title`, `created`, `tags`) and one filename convention. Update `Templates/{Daily,Weekly,Person,Project_Log}.md` to emit the FM block. Rename `Project_Log.md` → `Project-Log.md` for consistency.
   - Why: today's templates emit only a heading. Without a written standard the next 100 notes will continue to drift; backfill cost grows linearly with note count.
   - Effort: small for the standard + templates; medium if you also backfill the existing 31 notes.
   - What could go wrong: heavy FM enforcement creates capture friction in `00_Inbox/`. Mitigation: exempt `00_Inbox/`; require FM only on promotion out of inbox.

3. **Decide the fate of `90_Reference/` and `_Archive/` and reflect it in `_System/CLAUDE.md`.** Either commit `90_Reference/` to the plan (with at least one seed note) and create `_Archive/`, or delete the empty `90_Reference/` and drop `_Archive/` from expectations.
   - Why: a folder that exists but isn't in the written plan is exactly the drift this audit is meant to catch. The audit spec assumes both folders exist and are load-bearing for "stale note" rules; if they're not real, the rule is dead on arrival.
   - Effort: small.
   - What could go wrong: deleting `90_Reference/` then recreating it next month is wasted churn. If unsure, keep it and add a one-line `90_Reference/README.md` describing what belongs there.
