Description

Session Goal

Explore a higher-level architecture for turning the existing Media Monitor / news automation work into a reusable, modular, and potentially productizable system rather than a collection of scripts.

Key Activities

• Reframed the work from cataloging scripts to identifying composable systems and structural seams that can support reuse.
• Defined an artifact ladder approach, where runtime outputs, contract artifacts, read models, decision surfaces, and public/product surfaces are treated as distinct layers.
• Mapped modular news automation into horizontal capabilities such as buses, indexes, snapshots, run records, and editorial handoff.
• Proposed packaging the architecture as a reusable kit and as an autonomous news portal that could evolve from static intelligence to draft publishing.
• Recast the Media Monitor repository as a vertical application and a broader testbed for explicit seams, stable contracts, and reusable artifacts across the MAL stack.
• Introduced a portfolio campus model separating responsibility lanes from technical roles, and suggested adding architecture_role and artifact_level fields to the project registry.

Achievements

• Clarified the architectural direction: the core value is not the scripts themselves, but the artifact boundaries and contracts that make the system reusable.
• Established a conceptual framework for productization of media automation through modular components and phased vertical applications.
• Identified a governance model for organizing repos, work lanes, and artifacts without forcing a one-project-one-repo structure.

Pending Tasks

• Translate the conceptual artifact ladder into a concrete implementation plan.
• Define the reusable module boundaries and the minimum contract schema for each layer.
• Decide how to represent the portfolio campus model in the project registry and repo organization.
• Prioritize which vertical slice to build first: static intelligence, editorial handoff, or draft publishing.
