How to read action chapters
Each action chapter has ten sections, each serving a different practitioner question.
| Section | Practitioner question it answers |
|---|---|
| 1. What this action is | What is the work? |
| 2. Why this action matters in AVO | Why is this work in scope? |
| 3. What it requires before you can attempt it | Can we attempt this now, or are we early? |
| 4. What gets done in this action | What’s the actual sequence of work? |
| 5. What success looks like | How will we know it succeeded? |
| 6. What failure looks like | How will we know it failed? |
| 7. Common mistakes | What pitfalls do practitioners hit? |
| 8. Datapoints affected | What measurement should move when this is done well? |
| 9. Multilingual considerations | What changes per language? |
| 10. What comes after | Where does this lead next? |
Sections 3 and 5 are the most consequential for action selection. A practitioner can decide whether an action is appropriate by reading those two sections alone. The other sections are reference material consulted during execution and review.
