Intuition

Build the mental picture first so the rest of the page has something to attach to.

Section prompt

A retrospective can produce five reasonable action items. The prevention backlog decides which one moves first.

That queue should not be a simple effort list. In adaptive learning, a small action can be urgent if it blocks privacy, accessibility, learner repair, or the next release. A larger action can move earlier if recurrence risk is high and verification is clear. A popular action can still wait if the owner lane has no capacity or the evidence is too weak.

The prevention backlog keeps six signals visible:

recurrence risk: how likely the incident is to return or spread,
learner impact: how many learners or learning outcomes remain exposed,
policy urgency: whether a privacy, accessibility, or governance rule is open,
owner capacity: whether the accountable team can actually pull the work,
verification cost: how hard it is to prove the action worked,
release sequence: whether the next release depends on the action.

The point is not to make prioritization feel mathematical and final. The point is to force the tradeoff into the open before the team ships another change.

Math

Translate the story into symbols, assumptions, and a derivation you can inspect.

Section prompt

Equation 1 $a_i=(r_i, \ell_i, p_i, c_i, v_i, b_i),$ Equation 2 $S(a_i)= w_r r_i + w_\ell \ell_i + w_p p_i + w_c c_i + w_v v_i + w_b b_i.$

Let each prevention candidate $a_i$ have normalized scores

a_i=(r_i, \ell_i, p_i, c_i, v_i, b_i),

where $r_i$ is recurrence risk, $\ell_i$ is learner impact, $p_i$ is policy urgency, $c_i$ is owner-capacity fit, $v_i$ is verification ease, and $b_i$ is release-blocking urgency.

A simple priority score can be written as

S(a_i)= w_r r_i + w_\ell \ell_i + w_p p_i + w_c c_i + w_v v_i + w_b b_i.

Some gates override the weighted score:

G(a_i)= \mathbf{1}[\text{privacy blocker}_i \lor \text{accessibility blocker}_i \lor \text{release blocker}_i].

The pull rule is

a^* = \begin{cases} \arg\max_{i:G(a_i)=1} S(a_i), & \text{if any blocker is open},\\ \arg\max_i S(a_i), & \text{otherwise.} \end{cases}

The queue can also defer an item when owner capacity or verification evidence is too weak:

\operatorname{ready}(a_i)= \mathbf{1}[c_i \ge \tau_c \land v_i \ge \tau_v].

So a high-risk item may still need a setup action first if nobody can own or verify it.

Code

Keep the implementation aligned with the notation so the algorithm is legible.

Section prompt

weights = {
    "recurrence": 0.28,
    "learner": 0.24,
    "policy": 0.20,
    "capacity": 0.12,
    "verification": 0.10,
    "release": 0.06,
}

items = [
    {"name": "add privacy log redaction", "recurrence": 6, "learner": 5, "policy": 10, "capacity": 6, "verification": 4, "release": 8, "blocker": True},
    {"name": "fix label-noise regression", "recurrence": 9, "learner": 6, "policy": 4, "capacity": 7, "verification": 9, "release": 6, "blocker": False},
    {"name": "cache lesson embeddings", "recurrence": 3, "learner": 4, "policy": 2, "capacity": 9, "verification": 9, "release": 2, "blocker": False},
]

def score(item):
    return sum(weights[key] * item[key] for key in weights)

blocked = [item for item in items if item["blocker"]]
pool = blocked or items
ready = [item for item in pool if item["capacity"] >= 4 and item["verification"] >= 4]

pull_first = max(ready, key=score)
print(pull_first["name"], round(score(pull_first), 2))

The scoring is not an oracle. It is a forcing function: if a privacy, accessibility, or release blocker is open, the queue shows why it outranks cheaper work.

Interactive Demo

Use direct manipulation to connect the explanation to a moving system.

Section prompt

Use the Prevention Backlog lab to predict which lane should justify the next pull:

High recurrence risk: decide when recurrence reduction wins.
Privacy urgent: decide when policy repair overrides ordinary score.
Accessibility repair: decide when access remediation must unblock learners.
Low capacity: decide when the best-looking item must wait for owner capacity.
Cheap verification: decide when a quick verified repair should move first.
Release blocker: decide when sequence risk pulls an item into the current sprint.
Defer weak evidence: decide when the right move is to defer and gather verification.

Before reveal, the exact score, blocker flags, candidate ranking, owner-capacity fit, verification cost, and release sequence stay locked. After reveal, inspect why the selected backlog item should move first or wait.
