## Implementation plan and governance

The lowest-risk technical path is to treat the directory as an extension of the current WordPress/public-framework architecture rather than a rebuild. The uploaded site analyses and theme route file indicate a WordPress-based publication scaffold with source-controlled route definitions and a still-thin public content layer. That makes a custom post type and taxonomy approach much more attractive than a platform migration. fileciteturn0file11 fileciteturn0file19

The implementation work should be prioritized around **entity creation, crawlability, cleanup, and governance**. 2IA will not become definitive by adding one long “links” page. It becomes definitive by treating directory entries as durable editorial objects, each with ownership, metadata, revision history, and a public correction mechanism.
