    ### From connection to verified outcome

    The controlled sequence every capability follows. Nothing changes a connected system without the approval step.

    <Steps>
      <Step title="Connect">
        Authorise the source. Scopes are shown before access is granted.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Monitor">
        Watch the signals against your own baselines, not universal defaults.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Detect">
        Run checks and gather evidence specific to your store.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Recommend">
        Explain what happened, why it matters and the proposed action.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Approve">
        You review scope, risk and reversibility before anything changes.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Execute">
        Apply through governed connector operations.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Verify">
        Confirm the intended result and keep the receipt.
      </Step>
    </Steps>

    No changes are made without the configured approval policy. Read-only operations do not modify the connected system; schedules, access scopes, API usage and data handling remain governed by Vortex IQ controls.

    ### Monitor performance

    14 performance signals. Open an outcome to see its signals and how each one alerts. Read-only operations do not modify the connected system.

    ### Audit risks and opportunities

    A fix status appears only where the action, inputs, approval, verification and recovery controls are mapped. Candidate remediations are never executable. Open a check for the detail.

    <AccordionGroup>
      <Accordion title="Site views dropped > 20% vs prior period">
        **Severity** high · **Outcome** Grow revenue · **Fix status** Report only

        Site views dropping over 20 percent needs a cause before it needs a reaction: seasonality, tracking, or a real ranking loss all look identical at the top line.

        Vortex IQ detects and explains this; resolution is manual, with evidence and recommended steps.

        Reference: `CMS-TRAFFIC-001`
      </Accordion>

      <Accordion title="Comment moderation backlog above 20">
        **Severity** medium · **Outcome** Protect revenue · **Fix status** Report only

        A moderation backlog above 20 leaves genuine questions unanswered in public and spam visible on the store's own pages.

        Vortex IQ detects and explains this; resolution is manual, with evidence and recommended steps.

        Reference: `CMS-MODERATION-001`
      </Accordion>

      <Accordion title="Over 40% of content not updated in 12 months">
        **Severity** medium · **Outcome** Catalogue quality · **Fix status** Report only

        When over 40 percent of content has not been touched in a year, decay outpaces creation; rankings quietly rot page by page.

        Vortex IQ detects and explains this; resolution is manual, with evidence and recommended steps.

        Reference: `CMS-STALE-001`
      </Accordion>

      <Accordion title="Publishing pipeline stalled (no post in 30 days)">
        **Severity** medium · **Outcome** Run operations · **Fix status** Candidate remediation

        A stalled publishing pipeline slowly starves organic traffic; content compounds only while it keeps shipping.

        A likely corrective operation exists, but its mapping and recovery are not yet complete, so execution is not offered. Evidence and recommended manual steps are provided.

    ### Automate approved work

    Vortex IQ is integrated with **2 read** and **0 write** operations across https:chromeuxreportgoogleapicomrecords:queryrecords, runpagespeeds on Ghost. Combine them with anything from the **over 13,000 operations across more than 200 connectors** to automate the work in your own words.

    Changes follow your configured approval policy: the target, proposed change, affected records, risk, reversibility and verification plan are shown before execution.
