Common multi-action sequences for each maturity stage

Foundations stage typical sequences:

• O-1 (competitive analysis) + O-2 (analytics infrastructure) → engagement framing
• O-4 (technical infrastructure) → broad foundation
• O-3 (E-E-A-T) + O-5 (structured data) + O-7 (compliance) → readiness foundation
• O-6 (content audit) → existing content quality baseline
• M-1 (question mapping) → preparation for depth-stage work

Depth stage typical sequences:

• M-2 (answer-first architecture) + M-3 (FAQ hubs) → content surface restructure
• M-6 (citation discipline) → editorial culture establishment
• M-7 (multimedia optimization) + M-8 (refresh discipline) → ongoing content quality
• G-1 (entity verification) → Generative-pillar foundation
• G-2 (territory selection) → strategic substrate

Authority stage typical sequences:

• G-3 (long-form) + G-8 (original research) → authority substrate
• G-4 (media outreach) + G-10 (syndication) → external citation development
• G-9 (academic citations) + G-11 (Wikipedia/Wikidata) → institutional authority
• G-5 (community presence) + G-13 (partnerships) → network authority

Sustained authority stage typical sequences:

• M-8 (ongoing refresh) + G-12 (misinformation correction) → maintenance discipline
• G-13 (ongoing partnerships) + G-5 (sustained community) → relationship maintenance
• All actions at maintenance level — no major new initiatives, sustained execution
