Decisions
144 rules
Twelve areas, twelve rules each. Every rule is an IF / THEN / ELSE with a primary metric, a guardrail and the LAKA levels it operates at.

- SEM-002 Expand through subtypes IF a parent concept contains meaningful narrower types with distinct tasks Baseline
- SEM-003 Normalize synonyms and paraphrases IF different phrases express the same sense and dominant task Baseline
- SEM-004 Disambiguate homonyms and polysemy IF the same wording can refer to different concepts, entities, or tasks Baseline
- SEM-005 Model modifiers as facets IF terms vary by price, material, size, audience, platform, location, time, or other attributes Baseline
- SEM-006 Use co-occurrence as context IF a term commonly appears near the topic but is not itself the user’s target Minor
- SEM-007 Map entities and relations IF the task depends on named things and how they connect Major
- SEM-008 Map query fan-out without page fan-out IF one broad task implies several supporting questions Major
- SEM-009 Triangulate demand evidence IF a candidate appears in only one tool or source Baseline
- SEM-010 Do not equate zero tool volume with zero demand IF a query has low or zero reported volume but appears in first-party or customer evidence Baseline
- SEM-011 Attach time state IF facts, prices, availability, standards, laws, events, or recommendations can change Structural
- SEM-012 Model emerging demand separately IF a new technology, regulation, event, or behavior has weak historical search data but strong causal evidence Paradigm
- CLU-001 One dominant intent, one owner IF a dominant intent cluster is approved Baseline
- CLU-002 Merge same-task candidates IF sense, task, answer structure, result class, and next action are compatible Baseline
- CLU-003 Split different tasks IF queries share vocabulary but require different completion conditions or document forms Baseline
- CLU-004 Use result overlap as evidence, not law IF current top results overlap strongly for two queries Baseline
- CLU-005 Detect cannibalization by behavior IF multiple owned URLs receive the same cluster’s impressions with unstable dominance or divided value Baseline
- CLU-006 Merge with migration discipline IF two pages are redundant and one combined page is superior Structural
- CLU-007 Reposition a useful weaker page IF a weaker page has independent value but overlaps the stronger page’s task Major
- CLU-008 Inspect equity before deletion IF a page appears useless or redundant Baseline
- CLU-009 Align canonical signals IF duplicate or parameter URLs must remain accessible Structural
- CLU-010 Protect established URLs IF an older URL has links, traffic, or history and the only proposed improvement is a prettier slug Minor
- CLU-011 Keep lexical variants together IF differences are spelling, word order, pluralization, abbreviation, or stemming without task change Minor
- CLU-012 Test uncertain cluster boundaries IF merge/split evidence is inconclusive Baseline
- CON-001 Select format from task IF the dominant task is known Major
- CON-002 Answer early IF a user can benefit from a concise direct answer Minor
