# Final editorial QA — September 10 midday systems lane

## Decision

**PASS — publication-ready for one governed personal-authority-site handoff.** No publisher or repository mutation is authorized by this package.

## Internal review lenses

| Lens | Score | Finding |
|---|---:|---|
| Senior self-storage trade editor | **9.8/10** | The opening uses recognizable multi-site failure modes without inventing a real operator. The piece moves from standard/baseline/observation/effective-state separation through variance classification, controlled change, evidence coverage and reconciliation. |
| Multi-location operator | **9.8/10** | The method is usable across access, rental, fee, notice, retention and work-routing settings. “Not evaluated” remains visible, local exceptions are not mislabeled as drift and central teams are stopped from blind normalization. |
| Systems and evidence-governance editor | **9.8/10** | Identity, time, version, source authority, expected-version checks, rollback and dependent readback are explicit. Source claims remain within NIST, IETF and W3C scope and do not turn guidance into a compliance finding. |
| Rendered article and tool presentation | **9.7/10** | Article and grouped-tool renders at 1,280, 390 and 320 pixels show no overflow, failed image or page error. The 42-field example remains vertically legible at 320 pixels. |

**Aggregate:** **9.775/10**. These are internal editorial QA lenses, not third-party review, publisher acceptance, coverage or recognition.

## Article identity

- **Title:** *A Portfolio Standard Is Not a Facility Setting: Build a Configuration-Drift Register*
- **Author:** Jared Mastroianni
- **Slug:** `facility-configuration-drift-register-self-storage`
- **Destination:** Jared Mastroianni personal authority site only
- **Proposed canonical:** `https://jaredmodstorage.github.io/writing/facility-configuration-drift-register-self-storage/`
- **Body word count:** 1,885 under the lane-standard rule: count only text between `BODY START` and `BODY END`; exclude bracketed numeric source markers; count Unicode letter-or-number tokens while retaining internal apostrophes and hyphens.
- **Article SHA-256:** `a45ea8e22e9b7ca7155080f242bd3ff8cd8150a439d0e549aaa7243d73efd4bd`

## Practical tool QA

- `facility-configuration-drift-register.csv` has 42 unique columns and five uniform data rows.
- `FCD-BLANK` is one reusable blank template row.
- `FCD-FIC-001` through `FCD-FIC-004` are four explicitly fictional teaching rows with unique IDs.
- The tool separates portfolio standard, facility baseline, observed value, governing effective value, bounded behavior test, variance class, change authority, stop condition, rollback and dependent reconciliation.
- **Tool SHA-256:** `efe4e2f9771d02866d1c0a3bcf8c54b0ab7dd2a84584c6e5738f772f2d7e95f0`

## Source, duplicate and visual QA

- Six official source records map one-to-one to article references 1 through 6. Every registered URL returned HTTP 200 after redirects on September 10, 2026.
- **Source-register SHA-256:** `02ecbdb7fb2ea91e46889f3f8567754ce37b6b888b2517403c6563b0326c13a0`
- The selected canonical and excluded modSTORAGE path returned HTTP 404. The slug was absent from the live 65-route Jared sitemap and 139-route modSTORAGE post sitemap.
- Across 878 other Markdown files, 54 eligible normalized sentences of at least 14 words produced zero exact matches. Maximum six-word-shingle overlap was 3 of 1,880, or 0.159574%.
- Image 010 is a byte-identical 3,840 × 2,560 copy of the governed high-resolution master. No embedded author or creator value is present.
- **Image SHA-256:** `158183e085958a5d18b6f502e44485a782a5e897961cbd07c8201bd2988ba88d`
- All six responsive captures passed automated overflow, image-load and page-error checks; the 1,280-pixel article and 320-pixel grouped tool were visually inspected.

## Final state

The package is publication-ready locally and assigned to one owned destination. No publisher handoff, source-repository mutation, CMS object, deployment, public canonical, sitemap/feed inclusion, search submission, crawling, indexing, ranking, independent coverage, award or recognition is established.
