## Implementation roadmap and governance
### Prioritized plan
The first technical priority is not more essays. It is a **directory content type**. Create a dedicated Organizations section, add organization-profile templates, move to permanent internal canonicals on 2IA, and wire every profile into corrections and methodology. In practical terms, that means: add a new top-level navigation item, create `/organizations/` and `/org/{slug}/`, add controlled taxonomies, and seed an editorial workflow with `last_verified`, `confidence_label`, `risk_tier`, and `correction_url`. That work is directly consistent with the archive’s own metadata standard, taxonomy draft, and correction-ledger model. citeturn24view2turn24view3turn24view7turn24view8turn12view3
