Pathway Audit

Audit pathway: $ARGUMENTS

$ARGUMENTS should be a pathway slug (e.g., metanoia) or all to audit every pathway.

Valid slugs: reframation, metanoia, forgotten-ways, movement-intelligence, discipleship

Before Starting

1. Read src/lib/content/pathways/types.ts — the TypeScript interfaces
2. Read the pathway file: src/lib/content/pathways/[slug].ts
3. Read src/app/(public)/pathways/[slug]/page.tsx — check what renders
4. Check for case study pages: src/app/(public)/pathways/[slug]/case-studies/
5. Check for reflection questions and glossary terms (may be in extras or missing entirely)

Canonical Architecture (what you're auditing against)

Every pathway page must have these 12 sections in 4 groups. The sidebar TOC must surface 7 as primary navigable anchors.

GROUP 1 — UNDERSTAND

1. Overview (400–600 words)
2. The Model (named — not "Framework")
3. Quotes (3–5 citable pull quotes)
4. Visualizations (design brief present)

GROUP 2 — EXAMINE 5. Scripture (exegetical — not just a reference list) 6. Case Studies (2–4, each with dedicated page at /pathways/[slug]/case-studies/[case-slug]) 7. FAQ (6–10 Q&A pairs)

GROUP 3 — APPLY 8. Practices (3–5 steps, AfterNote present) 9. Reflection Questions (6–10, distinct from FAQ)

GROUP 4 — GO DEEPER 10. Courses (linked, with relevance note) 11. Content (books, articles, podcasts, videos — curated, not exhaustive) 12. Glossary Terms (5–10 terms, linked to full glossary)

7 Navigable Sections: Overview → [Named Model] → Case Studies → FAQ → Practices → Courses → Content

Audit Checklist

For each section, check: Present / Partial / Missing

GROUP 1: UNDERSTAND

Overview

• intro field exists and is not a stub (< 100 words = stub)
• Word count: 400–600 words
• Names the problem/distortion
• Christocentric framing present
• reframe field present (usual question → better question)
• Does NOT read as a framework summary

The Model

• framework field present
• framework.title is a proper named model (NOT "The Framework", "The Model", or generic)
• framework.intro is 100–200 words
• At least 4 phases/elements, each with num, title, body
• Each body is 60–100 words (flag if < 30 or > 150)
• framework.afterNote present (realistic expectations)

Quotes

• quote field present (or multiple quotes in extras)
• At least 3 distinct quotes (flag if only 1)
• Each quote is standalone-citable (no dangling context)
• Source cited where possible

Visualizations

• Visualization description or design brief present (may be in extras or comments)
• (Flag as missing if nothing — this is a known gap for all pathways)

GROUP 2: EXAMINE

Scripture

• scripture field present
• scripture.refs lists at least 3 references
• scripture.detail has at least 3 entries, each with ref and text (not just a word)
• scripture.detail[n].text is exegetical — 30+ words, not just a paraphrase
• scripture.history present (redemptive history note — 80+ words)

Case Studies

• At least one case study present (caseStudy field or in extras)
• (Flag: currently only single caseStudy field — multiple needed)
• Each case study has: title, lead, at least 3 paragraphs
• Dedicated page exists: src/app/(public)/pathways/[slug]/case-studies/[case-slug]/page.tsx
• Mix of: biblical + historical OR contemporary (not all from same era)

FAQ

• qa field present
• At least 6 Q&A pairs
• At least 1 term clarification question (e.g., "X vs. Y?")
• At least 1 distortion/misapplication question
• Each answer is 60–150 words
• Answers are self-contained (no "as mentioned above")
• Questions read as a real person would ask them (not formal/academic)

GROUP 3: APPLY

Practices

• practice field present
• At least 3 steps
• Each step has label, title, body
• Each body is 75–150 words
• At least one communal or relational practice
• practice.afterNote present with a "First Step" recommendation

Reflection Questions

• Present in extras or dedicated field
• At least 6 questions
• Distinct from FAQ — these are inward-facing, not clarifying
• Not yes/no
• Progressive depth: accessible → challenging
• (Flag if missing — this is a new section not yet in most pathways)

GROUP 4: GO DEEPER

Courses

• cta field present with relevant course link
• (Flag if only one course — should list all relevant courses)

Content

• Books present (at least 3 — check extras or cta)
• Articles referenced (at least 2 on-site articles)
• Podcasts referenced (at least 1 specific episode)
• Videos referenced (at least 1 specific talk)
• (Flag if entirely missing — this is a new section not yet in most pathways)

Glossary Terms

• At least 5 movemental vocabulary terms identified for this pathway
• Terms linked to /pathways/glossary-movemental-language
• (Flag if missing — new section not yet in most pathways)

Voice Audit

Check for all 5 Alan Hirsch voice markers in prose sections (Overview, Model intro, Practice bodies):

• Christocentric anchoring — Jesus referenced as Lord, center, or pattern
• Pastoral warmth — "we" language, invitational phrasing
• Narrative imagery — organic metaphors, early church references
• Theological depth — at least one real theological concept engaged
• Prophetic intensity — at least one reframing question or productive dissonance

Anti-patterns to flag if present:

• Corporate consultant language ("leverage," "optimize," "scalable")
• Detached academic hedging ("it could be argued")
• Generic motivation ("you've got this")
• Antithesis patterns ("not X, but Y") — must be additive, not oppositional
• Bullet-point lists used as primary content in prose sections

SEO / GEO Audit

• framework.title is a proper named model (citable by AI engines)
• FAQ has 6+ standalone-answerable Q&A pairs (FAQPage schema candidate)
• Overview clearly defines the concept (featured snippet candidate)
• Scripture section has exegetical depth (E-E-A-T signal)
• Case studies have dedicated URLs (individually indexable)
• Quotes are attributed and standalone-citable
• No section relies on context from another section to make sense

Output Format

Produce a structured audit report with this shape:

## Pathway Audit: [Pathway Name] ([slug])

### Summary
Overall status: COMPLETE / NEEDS WORK / STUB
Sections present: X / 12
SEO/GEO ready: YES / PARTIAL / NO

### By Section
| Section | Status | Notes |
|---------|--------|-------|
| Overview | ✅ Complete | 520 words, reframe present |
| The Model | ⚠️ Partial | Good content but named "The Framework" — rename to "The U-Shaped Journey" |
| Quotes | ❌ Missing | Only 1 quote; need 2 more with attribution |
| Visualizations | ❌ Missing | No design brief — new section needed |
| Scripture | ✅ Complete | 4 refs, exegetical depth, history note present |
| Case Studies | ⚠️ Partial | 1 study present; needs 1 more; no dedicated page |
| FAQ | ✅ Complete | 5 Q&A pairs — add 1 more for minimum |
| Practices | ✅ Complete | 5 steps, afterNote present |
| Reflection Questions | ❌ Missing | New section — not yet authored |
| Courses | ⚠️ Partial | CTA links one course; others not listed |
| Content | ❌ Missing | No curated books/articles/podcasts/videos |
| Glossary Terms | ❌ Missing | New section — not yet authored |

### Voice
✅ All 5 markers present
⚠️ Flag: antithesis pattern found in overview ("Not X, but Y")

### SEO / GEO
⚠️ Model not yet named properly — rename for AI citability
✅ FAQ suitable for FAQPage schema
❌ Case study has no dedicated URL

### Priority Actions (ordered)
1. Rename framework.title to "The U-Shaped Journey"
2. Add 2 more quotes with attribution
3. Create dedicated case study page
4. Author Reflection Questions (run /pathway-author [slug] reflection-questions)
5. Author Content section (books/articles/podcasts/videos)
6. Author Glossary Terms section
7. Commission Visualizations design brief

If auditing all, produce one summary table across all pathways, then a detail section per pathway.

Rules

• Report what exists, not what you think should exist — audit against the canonical spec only
• When a section is "partial," be specific: what's there vs. what's missing
• Priority actions must be in order: structural gaps first, then content quality, then polish
• Never suggest removing content — only adding or improving
• Flag TypeScript type gaps (e.g., single caseStudy vs. needed array) as separate action items
• After auditing, suggest which sections to author first by running /pathway-author [slug] [section]
