Order ready work for the current context
Produce an explainable, revisable ordering of eligible work against the owner's current time, commitments, operating context, energy, tools, dependencies, and risk.

Core meaning
- Capability purpose
- Help the owner choose suitable work now without reducing planning to permanent priority labels.
- Meaningful outcome
- An ordered set of currently relevant Work Starters or actionable work exists with reasons for inclusion, ordering, deferral, or exclusion.
- Boundaries — includes
- eligibility, context fit, available windows, commitments, readiness, dependencies, pinned visibility, reordering, and rationale.
- Boundaries — excludes
- preparing missing work context, executing selected work, modifying commitments without authority, and treating ranking as objective truth.
- Terms and concepts
dynamic ordering is a context-sensitive recommendation that changes when relevant conditions change.
Interaction Contract MLEs
Produce a contextual work ordering
- Actor
- An authorized owner, scheduler, or time-planning agent.
- Command / intent
- Order eligible work for a current or forecast window.
- Current state
- Candidate work and sufficient context about the window and owner constraints exist.
- Policies / invariants
- Ineligible or unauthorized work is excluded; pinned means visible rather than universally highest priority; material ordering factors are explainable; changes preserve their reason where review matters.
- Transition
- Evaluate fit, constraints, readiness, and commitments, then produce or revise the ordered set.
- Result
- A time-bounded ordered work view with rationale and unresolved constraints.
- Events / effects
- The owner or an authorized executor may select work; changed context may trigger reordering.
- Unknowns
- No universal scoring weights or refresh interval are established.
Rules and defaults
Rules / invariants
- Ordering must not silently change task, project, or commitment state.
- Pinned status must not imply universal execution priority.
Recommended defaults
- Prefer transparent fit factors over opaque fixed priority labels.
Unknown / unresolved
- The authority to automatically move, split, delegate, or defer work remains policy-specific.
