# Method

Research. Learn. Ingest. Execute: Match. Mock. Build. Prove. Ship.
The [canonical skill](../skills/website-build-skill/SKILL.md) owns the method.

| Stage | Owner | Reviewable result |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Research | Researcher | Saved library, fourteen-domain coverage, sources and gate receipt |
| Learn and ingest | Every role | Reopened library, applied checklist and learning receipt |
| Scope | Coordinator | Brief, capabilities and artifact ownership |
| Match | Designer | Brand rules, tokens, conflicts and approved inferences |
| Mock | Designer with Graphics | Three visual directions and a named human selection |
| Choose and build | Builder | Smallest justified stack and selected implementation |
| Prove | Builder, Designer, Optimizer | Accessibility, performance and discovery evidence |
| Protect | Builder | Headers and exposed-surface checks |
| Challenge | Different-family Reviewer | Read-only findings against a fixed candidate |
| Ship | Coordinator then Builder | Authorized promotion, live checks and operations document |

ASK DATE is the date of the user's request, fixed at engagement start.
Researcher establishes it before intake using the [canonical rule](../skills/website-build-skill/playbooks/research-and-memory.md#ask-date-rule).
A source publication/update date describes the source. An access date records an actual opening.
Revalidation records whether a claim still applies and what was reopened. A freshness window limits reuse.
A derived floor is a qualified lower bound, never proof of the actual day or later currency.
Missing provenance or current research keeps dependent work BLOCKED.

SOLO follows all seven roles sequentially with self-handoffs and a framing reset.
TEAM: one command installs the seven workers' files; you open each session yourself and carry the handoffs between them. Researcher goes first.
Record seven setup acknowledgements, one writer per artifact, and a saved research gate.
Neither mode earns independent review from a second name in the same model family.
Use PASS, FAIL, BLOCKED or NOT APPLICABLE with evidence. Never convert absence into a pass.

The user owns the resulting library, claim ledger, domain checklists, decisions and handoffs.
Keep them with the website project. The skill repository is the method, not storage for client work.
