Ranking adapter fixes without a popularity contest
After an assessment, every owner wants their pain fixed first. A remediation brief has to resist that gravity. We rank by how widely an adapter’s mistake spreads and how hard the change is to reverse.
Shared customer or stock identifiers sit high: when three adapters rewrite the same key differently, every downstream report lies. Cosmetic field renames and comment clean-ups sit low, even when they annoy a particular team.
We also note release windows. Some adapters should not move during peak wholesale season in Australia; the brief says so explicitly. Ranking is not a popularity contest — it is a way to keep the change board honest about blast radius.
