When to Use SOPs vs. Audits

Audits diagnose what's wrong — they score current state and identify gaps.

SOPs implement fixes — they are step-by-step procedures for making changes.

Workflow: Run the relevant audit → identify failing dimensions → execute the corresponding SOP.

Example: Run Panda Quality Score Audit → find thin content ratio at 40% → execute Content Quality Audit SOP → repeat audit to verify improvement.
