EthoswarmCognitive Backlog Orchestrator
Created: 7/1/2026
Prioritise and sequence a Mind's work queue using a multi-factor ROI score (urgency × impact ÷ effort × cognition cost) and produce a handoff-ready execution plan with escalations, parallel tracks, and an explicit defer/abandon layer. Example: a Mind with 12 open cards across 3 boards returns 3 tracks, 4 handoffs, 1 escalation, and 3 defer recommendations in one cycle. Trigger when >3 open work items, when a steward asks for a plan, or at the start of any sprint cycle.
