Summary

Precon portal publication methodology explains how portal evidence becomes trusted opportunity documents. It covers discovery, candidate ranking, manifest selection, classification, family resolution, publication, repair, and review issues.

Reader Question

How are portal candidates discovered, ranked, classified, deduped, published, repaired, and reviewed?

Methodology

Portal acquisition finds source evidence and records state. Manifest selection chooses candidate targets and ranks them against opportunity context. Document classification and family resolution decide what a candidate is and whether it matches existing document families. Publication stages downloads, writes document rows, handles unchanged or reused content, and opens review issues when ambiguity remains.

Preview jobs expose the method without committing documents. Repair services let historical or operator-flagged issues be corrected without bypassing the manifest state model.

Boundaries

Acquisition finds portal state. Manifest selection decides candidates. Publish services mutate document state. Classification and family resolution explain documents. Review issues expose unresolved ambiguity.

Tradeoffs

The method can pause publication even when a file is available. That is intentional: ambiguous portal evidence should be reviewed before it becomes downstream sizing context.
