Inventory your content, score it on four dimensions, and give every asset one decision — with a reason you can defend. Runs by hand, or with an AI agent doing the reading while you keep the call.Most content libraries grow until no one can say what's in them. Pages pile up. Some are accurate, some are years out of date, and most sit somewhere in between that no one has looked at since they shipped. "We'll get to it" becomes the filing system. The Content Audit replaces that with one defensible decision per asset.It's built for solo operators, small content teams, and content strategists sitting on years of pages — anyone who needs to know what to keep, what to fix, and what to cut without guessing. You add each asset once, score it against a fixed scale, and let the score point you toward a decision: Refresh, Repurpose, Retire, or Leave. Every decision carries a one-sentence reason, written down, so the call still makes sense six months from now when someone asks why.What changes is that the audit stops being a vague intention and becomes a record. Two people scoring the same page arrive at the same number, because the scale is defined, not felt. The decision follows from the score instead of from whoever is in the room. And every Refresh or Repurpose decision leaves with a Finding ID attached — a reference key that travels into the rest of the system if you run it.The audit works without AI, and it works the same way every time. Connect Notion AI or an MCP agent and the labor changes hands: the agent reads each asset, suggests scores, and drafts reasons. What does not change is who decides. Decision, Reason, and Brief Created are governed fields — the agent may suggest, but you set them. That boundary isn't a setting you can toggle. It's written into the database schema.That's the difference. This isn't a template that looks organized. It's a scoring system with a decision rule and a human-judgment line built into the structure — so the output is a set of decisions you can stand behind, not a longer list.What's included The Content Audit — a full Notion workspace, ready to duplicate Content Inventory database — one row per asset, with scoring, decisions, reasons, and cross-system reference keys; five prebuilt views (Decisions, Refresh Queue, By Score, Retire Queue, and a Board grouped by decision) How This Works — the six-step sequence from defining scope to routing the decision Scoring Criteria — all four dimensions with exact 1–4 scale points, so scoring is repeatable Decision Framework — how scores resolve into Refresh, Repurpose, Retire, or Leave, and what each decision requires next Worked Example — one asset carried end to end, so you can see the standard before you meet it Field Guide — every database field defined: what it captures, what valid input looks like, and what breaks downstream if it's skipped Running This With AI — how to connect Notion AI or an MCP agent, with a full field permission map marking what the agent suggests and what stays your call Who this is for Solo operators managing their own content library Small content teams that need two people to score the same asset the same way Content strategists running a formal audit they'll have to defend Anyone sitting on years of pages with no record of what's still worth keeping Operators who want an AI agent to do the reading without handing over the decisions What this solves Content libraries no one can account for "We'll get to it" as a permanent state Scoring that drifts depending on who's doing it Decisions made in a meeting and forgotten by the next one Retire and Refresh calls with no written reason to defend them AI that makes decisions instead of supporting them How it worksThe audit runs in six steps, in order: Define scope. Name what you're auditing in one sentence before you open the database. If it can't be written in one sentence, it's too wide. Build the inventory. Add one row per asset — title, URL, type, owner, last updated. Nothing else yet. Get everything in scope into the database before you score anything. Score each asset. Work through the four dimensions — Accuracy, Relevance, Findability, Quality — each scored 1 to 4. Finish one asset before starting the next. Let the score stand on its own; don't bend it toward the decision you expect. Apply the decision framework. The total score points to one of four decisions. Write it in the Decision field. Write the reason. One sentence. Not a description of the asset — a justification for the decision. This is the part that saves you time when someone asks why. Route the finding. Refresh and Repurpose decisions move on with their Finding ID. Retire decisions get a retirement date. Leave decisions get a review date. No row is done without one of these. Why it worksThe system separates the score from the decision, and the decision from the person. Four dimensions, each with defined scale points, mean a 2 means the same thing to everyone — the scoring is repeatable, not a matter of mood. The decision framework translates score ranges into one of four fixed outcomes, so the call is structured rather than improvised. And the human-judgment boundary is built into the schema: governed fields require a person to set them, which means an audit can't quietly become a list of agent outputs no one reviewed. The reason field is what makes each decision hold up later — every call comes with the context that explains it.Before and afterBefore: A content library you can't account for. Pages you suspect are out of date but haven't checked. Decisions made in meetings and lost by the next one. No way to explain, six months later, why something was cut or kept.After: Every asset in scope has one decision and one reason, recorded in a single database. The scoring is consistent enough that a second person reaches the same numbers. Refresh and Repurpose decisions leave with a Finding ID, ready to become briefed work. You can say what your content is worth — and defend it.FAQDo I need AI to use this?No. The audit runs fully by hand. AI changes who does the reading and drafting, not how the system works. Every step is the same with or without an agent.What does the AI actually do?With Notion AI or an MCP agent connected, it reads each asset, suggests scores across the four dimensions, and drafts reasons. It can create rows and update status. It cannot set the governed fields — Decision, Reason, and Brief Created stay with you.Why can't the agent make the decisions?Because an audit where every call was made by an agent and signed off without review is a list, not an audit. The human judgment is what makes the decisions defensible. That boundary is written into the database, not left to discipline.How is the scoring kept consistent?The Scoring Criteria page defines every scale point for all four dimensions. Two people scoring the same asset against those definitions arrive at the same numbers. The score is read off a standard, not estimated.What's a Finding ID?It's an auto-generated reference key (format AUD-[id]) attached to every row. It's how a decision here connects to a brief and a tracked asset if you run the other Fully Inhabit tools. You never edit it by hand.Does this require the other two tools?No. The Content Audit is complete on its own — every asset gets one decision, with a reason you can defend. The Finding ID is there so the work can travel if you also run The Content Brief and The Editorial Pipeline.Will it work in my existing Notion workspace?Yes. You duplicate it into your workspace and start adding assets. It's a self-contained set of pages and a database.Do I need a paid Notion plan?No. You duplicate the template into your own workspace and it runs on any plan, free included.How long does an audit take?That depends on how many assets are in scope. The system is built so you can score one asset completely and move on — you don't have to do it all at once, and the views show you what's left.Get The Content Audit. Add your first asset, score it, and give it one decision you can defend.Deciding is the first of three jobs. If you also brief the survivors and run them to published, The Fully Inhabit Suite carries every finding from here to live — all three tools, one thread.
