+# DEC-002 — Quality Escalation Trigger Strategy
+
+**Status:** accepted
+**Date:** 2026-06-18
+**Owner:** Bernd
+**Blocks:** LOOP-WP-0002 T03, T05, T07
+
+---
+
+## Question
+
+Should reactive quality escalation (LOOP-WP-0002) use **event-driven** triggers,
+**hourly sweep** polling, or **both**?
+
+## Context
+
+Supplier draft `low-success-rate-review` expects NATS event `kaizen.metrics.recorded`.
+That emitter does not exist in `kaizen-agentic metrics record` today (KAIZEN-WP-0008 T03).
+
+LOOP-WP-0002 proposes hourly sweep as bootstrap scaffolding until events ship.
+
+## Options
+
+### A — Sweep first, events later (recommended)
+
+1. Bootstrap: hourly `discover_kaizen_projects` sweep only
+2. After KAIZEN-WP-0008 ships emitter: enable event definition; demote sweep to daily backup
+
+| Pros | Cons |
+|------|------|
+| Unblocks LOOP-WP-0002 without supplier code | Higher hub load during bootstrap |
+| Proven pattern (activity-core shell resolvers) | Latency up to 1 hour |
+
+### B — Block until event emitter ships
+
+Wait for `metrics record --emit-event` before any LOOP-WP-0002 automation.
+
+| Pros | Cons |
+|------|------|
+| Clean architecture | Delays reactive loop entirely |
+| No duplicate triggers | LOOP-WP-0004 lacks quality signal data |
+
+### C — Dual from day one
+
+Run hourly sweep **and** events when available; dedupe by `(repo, agent, hour)`.
+
+| Pros | Cons |
+|------|------|
+| Fastest signal once events land | Duplicate task risk; complex dedupe |
+| | Harder to tune false-positive rate |
+
+## Recommendation
+
+**Option A.** Document emitter contract now (LOOP-WP-0002 T03); implement in
+KAIZEN-WP-0008; keep sweep as documented backup per ADR-003 stabilize phase.
+
+## Decision record
+
+| Field | Value |
+|-------|-------|
+| Chosen option | **A** — sweep first, events later |

+
+## On approval
+
+Update `loops/quality-escalation/thresholds.yml` trigger section.
