Topical Mapping · Legacy restructure
How MIRENA converts a legacy site into a processed topical map.
Give MIRENA the full crawl or URL inventory, titles, current taxonomy, performance notes, page types, redirects, internal links, business priorities, and protected pages. MIRENA reclusters the site by topic and intent, assigns one action to every URL, and builds the new parent structure.

Planning problem
A legacy site to processed map project turns an inherited or uneven URL inventory into clear clusters, page roles, actions, routes, and a controlled production queue.
The job is structural. MIRENA reviews ownership, intent, role, evidence, dependencies, routes, user progression, and downstream production before a decision is accepted.
Old categories define the map
Historic folders and labels no longer match topic ownership or intent.
Pages overlap in several forms
Definitions, comparisons, commercial paths, and broad articles compete.
Links reflect publishing history
Older pages receive attention while newer or more useful owners remain isolated.
Boundary: MIRENA does not preserve every URL and does not delete pages from low traffic alone. Role, intent, evidence, history, links, business value, redirect risk, and protected status stay in the decision.
How MIRENA handles the work
The internal process moves from evidence into governed page and route decisions.
Crawl and inventory the whole site
Collect every live URL, title, page type, current topic, links, and performance note.
Recluster by topic and intent
Ignore old taxonomy when it no longer reflects the real page job.
Assign one role to every page
Hub, spoke, use case, comparison, docs, proof, template, example, product, or support.
Find duplicate and mixed intent
Compare pages by answer, role, entity frame, and conversion path.
Build the processed parent structure
Create the hubs and cluster homes the site needs now.
Assign one URL action
Keep, refresh, merge, split, redirect, deindex, retire, or rebuild.
Rebuild internal routes
Map parent, child, sibling, proof, support, and commercial links.
Create briefs for changed pages
Do not rewrite until role, ownership, and route are approved.
Create the migration queue
Prioritize commercial paths, overlap, missing parents, support, and later clean up.
Decision record
MIRENA keeps the important fields visible through the handoff.
Current URL
The live asset under review.
Processed cluster
The new primary home.
Page role
The job the surviving asset performs.
URL action
Keep, refresh, merge, split, redirect, deindex, retire, or rebuild.
Destination and link route
The new owner and supporting paths.
Priority and owner
The wave, person, blocker, and next workflow.
Illustrative output
The record shows what MIRENA decided and where the work moves next.
The example shows structure only. It is not a client result, live audit, ranking claim, or automatic implementation.

Review states
MIRENA returns an owned decision instead of an unqualified recommendation.
Every URL has a cluster, role, action, destination, and owner.
The new structure works but selected actions or routes need evidence.
Crawl coverage, history, protected status, or redirect risk is unclear.
The plan renames pages without changing ownership or overlap.
Connected workflow
The work moves into the next page that owns the decision.

Legacy Site to Processed Map questions.
What is a legacy site to processed map project?
It is the controlled restructure of an existing site into clear topic clusters, page roles, URL actions, and routes.
Does every old page need to be removed or rewritten?
No. MIRENA can keep, refresh, merge, split, redirect, deindex, retire, or rebuild each URL.
Why build the map before rewriting?
The page role, owner, parent, boundary, and route determine what the rewrite should do.
What does MIRENA return?
MIRENA returns the processed inventory, cluster structure, page roles, URL actions, redirect notes, link routes, and production queue.
What follows the processed map?
The approved plan controls briefs, rewrites, redirects, internal links, implementation, and future growth.
Next route
Give MIRENA the source context and working evidence. MIRENA returns the governed handoff.
The current Founder plan includes one seat and one active MIRENA instance for 30 days at €20 excluding VAT. OpenAI account rules and usage limits remain separate.
MIRENA output requires factual, editorial, legal, technical, and business review before publication or implementation.
