12 Appendix

12.1 A. Minimal run-log template

# Run Log — <species> — <run date>

## Inputs
- Source files used:
- Annual/static/conditional status:
- Data pull dates:
- Lookup/crosswalk versions:
- Hard-coded file-name handling:

## Layers produced
- CU trend:
- CU abundance:
- Pop representation:
- Historical context:

## Commands run
1.
2.

## Outputs generated
- CU file:
- Pop/context file:
- Tracking files:
- Bundle files:

## Notes
- Deviations from standard pattern:
- Open issues:

12.2 B. Minimal decision-log template

# Decision Log — <species> — <run date>

## Decision

## Why this decision was needed

## Options considered
- Option 1:
- Option 2:

## Chosen approach

## Affected layer(s)

## Impact on outputs / QC

12.3 C. Minimal QC summary template

# QC Summary — <species> — <run date>

## Required checks
- [ ] CU uniqueness `(CU_ID, Year)`
- [ ] Pop/context key checks
- [ ] Year coverage check
- [ ] Intermediate QC artifacts reviewed
- [ ] Exception register reviewed
- [ ] Prior-release diff reviewed
- [ ] Bundle alignment checked

## Key evidence files
- Matching / decomposition / tracking files:
- Release diff:
- Metadata / specs:

## Findings

## Pass / fail

## Reviewer

12.4 D. Exception-register template

species,output_layer,object,years_affected,rule_type,implemented_in,rationale,review_required,reviewer_notes

12.5 E. Selection-layer matrix template

output_layer,intended_use,selection_basis,source_files,expected_review_artifacts,notes
cu_trend,trend metrics,WSP/indicator systems,,,
cu_abundance,abundance or benchmark roll-up,abundance/SR systems,,,
pop_representation,pop reporting/context,broader mapped stream set,,,
historical_context,legacy continuity,historical source layer,,,

12.6 F. Canonical bundle quick reference

File Required? Role
cu_timeseries.csv Yes canonical CU series
wsp_metric_specs.csv Yes downstream metric/status configuration
wsp_cyclic_benchmarks.csv Conditional cyclic benchmark support
cu_metadata.csv Recommended context, provenance, interpretation
run-log.md Yes run trace
decision-log.md Yes explicit method decisions
qc-summary.md Yes release evidence
metadata_notes.md Recommended unresolved items and caveats

12.7 G. Derived consumer bridge note

If another system needs a different file shape, create it after the canonical bundle passes QC. Treat exports such as a Salmon Data Package or a derived cuyear.csv as handoff products, not the primary analytical model.

12.8 H. Active stabilization plan and local source inventory

12.10 J. Local method-context repos (for deeper reading)

  • code/Data-Standards
  • code/Metadata-Questionnaire-CU-Series
  • library/wsp-fisheries (local source library and notes)
