## When to run
Any one of these is enough:
Any one of these is enough, on either axis.
**Volume** - more material than one pass can read:
- The input tree holds more than roughly **20 raw files**.
- A single planned source page would carry more than roughly **15 `raw_files:` entries**.
- A previous attempt at the same tree ran past its iteration budget, or produced a source page
whose Key Takeaways are visibly thin for the amount of material behind them.
**Breadth** - one source carrying more subjects than one pass can do justice to:
- A single source looks likely to produce or update more than roughly **20 entities and
concepts together**. Estimate it from the reading, before writing anything; on a finished page
the same number is the length of `entities:` plus `concepts:`.
The two axes take different routes through this procedure. Volume is cut: several files become
several units, each its own source page. Breadth is not cut at all - it takes the workshop for
the extract pass and nothing else (§ [A broad source is not cut](#a-broad-source-is-not-cut)).
Otherwise use `wiki-ingest` unchanged. This procedure costs a workshop and a planning round;
a single document does not earn it.

## A broad source is not cut
A tree has seams: several files become several units, each its own source page. A single broad
source has none, and two rules keep it that way:
- `raw/` holds a file **exactly as received** ([raw/CONTRACT.md](../raw/CONTRACT.md) § Rules).
A promoted file is never split afterwards - a `kb/` claim is checked against the whole file.
- **One raw file, one owner** (`tools/wikitool types describe source`). A raw file stands in
exactly one `raw_files:`, and `lint` reports a second claimant. Several topical source pages
over one file would leave nobody responsible for refreshing them when that file gets a new
edition.
Cutting *before* `raw accept`, while the material is still in `incoming/`, is a different
operation and stays available for what this instance assembles itself - a session transcript, an
export bundle of separable documents. [capture-session.md](capture-session.md) § 1 is that case.
It is not available for a document that arrived as one document.
So a broad source keeps one raw file and one source page. What the workshop buys is the step
before any page is written:
1. `tools/wikitool work new --input <the file>`, then one unit per **subject cluster** in
`plan.md` - not per subtree, since there is none.
2. Extract per cluster (step 5b), listing the entities and concepts each cluster would produce.
3. **Decide which of them earn a page.** That rule is `wiki-ingest` step 7, and this list is
what it is applied to. The count from the trigger is an estimate; this is where it becomes a
decision.
4. One source page, one publish. There are no units to publish separately, so steps 5d-5e run
once, over the whole extract.
The failure this prevents is not a vague source page - a source page is a reference, and a wide
one still points where it should. It is the **cohort of stub subject pages** a single pass
produces when every name in the source is turned into a page: pages that restate their title,
pass `lint` (which measures structure, never substance), and read as covered ground to the next
session.

## Scope
This is about *volume*, not difficulty. A short but hard source - a specification that needs
careful reading - is still an ordinary `wiki-ingest`. And nothing here changes what a page must
contain: [kb/CONTRACT.md](../kb/CONTRACT.md) and the collection contracts still decide that.
