# Final editorial QA — September 11 midday systems lane

## Decision

**PASS — publication-ready for one governed personal-authority-site handoff.** This package does not authorize a publisher, repository, CMS or discovery mutation.

## Internal review lenses

| Lens | Score | Finding |
|---|---:|---|
| Senior self-storage trade editor | **9.8/10** | The opening uses recognizable record sprawl without inventing a real operator. The article moves from purpose and copy population through triggers, holds, verified disposition and portfolio reconciliation. |
| Multi-location operator | **9.8/10** | The method works across access, incident, call-review, work-order and financial evidence while preventing central teams from treating defaults or primary-system deletion as portfolio completion. |
| Records, privacy and systems editor | **9.8/10** | Authority, policy version, trigger source, current hold state, vendor copies, backups, derivatives, execution receipt and independent readback remain explicit. Legal and technical scope limits are preserved. |
| Rendered article and tool presentation | **9.7/10** | Article and grouped-tool renders at 1,280, 390 and 320 pixels have no overflow, failed image or page error. The 45-field fictional example remains legible at 320 pixels. |

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

## Article identity

- **Title:** *Keep, Hold, Delete, Prove: A Portfolio Evidence-Retention Map for Self-Storage*
- **Author:** Jared Mastroianni
- **Slug:** `self-storage-portfolio-evidence-retention-map`
- **Destination:** Jared Mastroianni personal authority site only
- **Proposed canonical:** `https://jaredmodstorage.github.io/writing/self-storage-portfolio-evidence-retention-map/`
- **Body word count:** 1,628 under the lane-standard rule: text between `BODY START` and `BODY END`; bracketed numeric source markers excluded; Unicode letter-or-number tokens counted with internal apostrophes and hyphens retained.

## Practical tool QA

- `portfolio-evidence-retention-map.csv` has 45 unique columns and five uniform data rows.
- `PERM-BLANK` is one reusable blank template.
- `PERM-FIC-001` through `PERM-FIC-004` are explicitly fictional teaching records with unique IDs.
- The map separates record purpose, owners, authority, policy version, trigger, eligibility, holds, copies, derivatives, disposition decision, execution, readback, exceptions and reconciliation.
- Unknown authority or hold state blocks automated disposition rather than supplying a guessed answer.

## Source, duplicate and visual QA

- Five current official records map one-to-one to article references 1 through 5. All five exact URLs returned HTTP 200 on September 11, 2026.
- Source scope and limitations are explicit. No source is represented as a private-company retention schedule, self-storage-specific legal rule or proof of compliance.
- The selected canonical and excluded modSTORAGE path returned HTTP 404. The slug was absent from the live 67-route Jared sitemap and 140-route modSTORAGE post sitemap; the WordPress exact-slug API returned `[]`.
- Across 830 other Markdown files, 48 eligible normalized sentences of at least 14 words produced zero exact matches. The 1,623 unique six-word article shingles produced zero overlap with any single screened file.
- PHOTO-STORYLINES image 019 is a byte-identical 1,536 × 1,024 copy at SHA-256 `025a5091cfcb84ea2bc427363db7760ae146dfe46e4aeabb2ea6229def056dfd`. It was visually reviewed and is disclosed as AI-generated editorial material, not meeting or implementation evidence.
- Six responsive captures passed automated overflow, image-load and page-error checks. The 1,280-pixel article and 320-pixel tool were visually inspected without a blocking defect.

## Final state

The package is complete and publication-ready locally. No publisher handoff, acceptance, repository change, CMS object, scheduling, deployment, publication, canonical activation, sitemap/feed inclusion, search submission, crawling, indexing, ranking, independent coverage, award or recognition is established.
