# Content Refresh Inventory

Prioritize existing content by accuracy, reader usefulness, risk, organic demand, performance, strategic value, maintenance burden, effort, and ownership.

## Usage note

Use this inventory to choose which existing assets deserve inspection and action. A score helps organize evidence; it should not replace editorial judgment or live-page review.

## How to use this template

1. Define the inventory scope, export date, canonicalization rules, and required data sources.
2. Collect stable page identity, ownership, purpose, maintenance, performance, and technical fields.
3. Inspect accuracy, usefulness, evidence, accessibility, risk, and intent on the live page.
4. Select an action with rationale, priority dimensions, effort, dependencies, and accountable owner.
5. Review overrides, group systemic work, and update the record after each decision is implemented.
