Split the pipeline documentation by purpose so each fact has one home: - docs/pipeline-plan.md keeps the plan, checklist, tracker, and guardrails - docs/decisions.md holds open decisions and the dated decision log - docs/reviews/ holds findings and tasks: one file per filter, plus 00-cross-filter.md for findings that span filters - scripts/common/README.md holds the shared-helper rules (formerly Phase 2) - filter-calculations.md now describes calculations only Filed findings 12-22 from a consistency audit of the app, docs, and scripts. Filter 1 (Köppen-Geiger): use "Köppen" with the umlaut in all prose, labels, docstrings, help text, and checker messages (finding 21), and correct the base build's "majority" docstring (finding 22). Filter 2 (annual avg temperature): record the adopted definition in filter-calculations.md §2: equally weighted 1991-2020 monthly normals, per WMO-No. 1203 and NOAA's 2020 methodology; area-weighted county means; blank unless all 12 months exist. Code changes for this filter are still pending. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Filter 11: Solar GHI
Status: Not started.
Data key: meanDailyGlobalHorizontalRadiationKwhM2Day. Calculation:
filter-calculations.md §11.
Findings
9. The GHI formula assumes hourly, 365-day input. It is correct for the
current 60-minute, leap_day=false requests. If the request interval changes,
the energy sum needs an interval-hours multiplier; leap-day handling would
also need to change the divisor.
19. The data-sources doc recommends a GHI raster the pipeline does not use.
Source 4 in scripts/county_data_sources.md says county means should come
from a gridded annual GHI raster passed with --solar-ghi-raster. The app
values come from NSRDB polygon archive summaries, with representative points
as fallback, applied by apply_locally_extreme_metric_to_climate_data.py.
20. The base build labels any solar CSV as representative-point. In
build_county_climate_data.py, the --solar-ghi-csv help text calls it a
representative-point fallback, and the per-row source tag is always
solar-ghi-representative-point, but the documented build command passes
data/nrel/county_polygon_ghi_summary.csv. The apply step later replaces both
the value and the tag, so only the base build's output is mislabeled.
Known issue to review: finalized by the extreme-temperature apply script.
Cross-filter findings that affect this filter, in 00-cross-filter.md: 11 (inconsistent aggregation) and 16 (the app's NSRDB source link no longer resolves).
Decisions
None yet.
Tasks
Not started; follow the per-filter review checklist in pipeline-plan.md §5.
