# Active Compliance Monitor

Establish ongoing monitoring system for post-approval compliance. Detects violations early and triggers remediation workflows before Google enforcement action.

## Scope Context

Post-approval continuous monitoring layer. Re-runs audit skills on a schedule.

| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| **Phase** | Post-approval monitoring |
| **Recommended scope** | `Core 79 + Profile` for regular checks; `Full 105` for quarterly deep scans |
| **Monitored pillars** | All 6 (CI, PC, TH, UX, TD, SI) |
| **Score mode** | Declared per run; stored in monitoring log alongside timestamp |

Each monitoring run should record:
- `score_mode` used for that run
- `triggered_items`: ARB item IDs that flagged violations
- `severity`: Critical / High / Medium / Low
- Route Critical/High findings to the appropriate remediation skill immediately

## Purpose

Maintain compliance after AdSense approval:
- Monitor for policy violations in new content
- Track content quality metrics
- Detect spam/SEO violations
- Alert when ad code breaks
- Track performance metrics

## Implementation (Post-Approval)

### Month 1: Setup Foundation

**1. Content Policy Monitoring**

Monitor for prohibited content:
```
Keywords to flag (daily scan):
- Health misinformation: "cures cancer", "anti-vaccine"
- Adult content: [explicit terms]
- Illegal: "credit card numbers", "buy drugs"
- Hateful: [slurs and threats]
```

**2. Configuration**

Create `.monitoring/config.json`:
```json
{
  "monitors": [
    {
      "name": "Policy Violations",
      "frequency": "daily",
      "severity": "critical",
      "alert_to": ["admin@example.com"],
      "threshold": 1
    },
    {
      "name": "Performance Issues",
      "frequency": "weekly",
      "severity": "high",
      "alert_to": ["admin@example.com"],
      "threshold": 5
    }
  ]
}
```

**3. Alert Channels**

Setup notifications:
- [ ] Email alerts (daily/weekly summary)
- [ ] Slack integration (instant alerts)
- [ ] SMS for critical issues (optional)
- [ ] Dashboard for manual review

### Month 2: Content Quality Monitoring

**Monitor**:
- Content volume (thin page detection)
- Originality (duplication detection)
- Freshness (update frequency)
- Metadata quality (title/description)

**Implementation**:
```bash
# Daily content quality check
00 06 * * * /usr/local/bin/quality-monitor.sh > /tmp/quality.log
```

### Month 3: Ad Code Monitoring

**Monitor**:
- Ad code placement validation
- Ad unit count compliance
- Ad code errors in console
- AdSense revenue anomalies

**Implementation**:
```javascript
// Check ad code health
window.addEventListener('load', function() {
  if (!window.adsbygoogle) {
    console.error('AdSense code not loaded');
    alert_monitoring_system({
      issue: 'Ad code missing',
      severity: 'critical'
    });
  }
});
```

### Month 4: Advanced Metrics

**Monitor**:
- Click-through rate trends
- Cost per mille (CPM) trends
- Bounce rate changes
- Page load speed degradation
