The Action queue is the human control point between Selfwin’s analysis and any external work.

## Two action sources

Selfwin can surface:

- **Visibility Agent actions:** Evidence-backed work tied to a specific agent run, prompt, and classified gap.
- **Source recommendations:** Opportunities generated from recent citation patterns and competitor presence by source category.

Both are recommendations. Neither is automatically published.

## Action states

Agent actions move through:

- **Draft:** Prepared and awaiting review.
- **Approved:** A person accepted the proposed work.
- **Shipped:** The work was completed outside or through an explicitly connected workflow.
- **Dismissed:** The proposal will not be pursued.

Source recommendations use open, done, and dismissed states.

## Review the evidence

Before approving, check:

- The prompt and current brand standing.
- The classified gap.
- Supporting URLs and source ownership.
- Observed fanout queries.
- Proposed target and action type.
- Draft content and linter result.

The score is a prioritization aid. It does not guarantee that a model will change its future answer.

## Approval is not publishing

Approving an action changes its state inside Selfwin. It does not:

- Edit your website.
- Post to a community.
- Email a publisher.
- Submit an indexing request.
- Send a message to a third party.

External execution requires a separate, explicit workflow and the permissions appropriate to that destination.

## Measuring impact

After work ships and new tracking evidence exists, Selfwin can store an attribution record with pre-action visibility, post-action visibility, the measured week, and a note.

Attribution records a before-and-after observation. It should not be interpreted as proof that the action alone caused the change.
