# Genre packs

**Structural direction (working):** three layers when surfacing work to owners — not one giant schema dump.

| Layer | What | Owner hears |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **A — Universal** | Discovery foundation: NAP + Core 3 claimed + hours + website + description + service-area mode + no duplicates/contradictions | Everyone’s first punch list |
| **B — Genre pack** | Thin ranked list for that vertical (secondaries, high-value attributes, services/menu shape, booking/links, maybe one vertical directory) | “For salons like yours, next is X” — never “schema” |
| **C — Known-for** | From the owner’s own words | Extra attributes/photos/proof + later AI-readiness queries |

**Surface rule:** scorecard ladder first (exist → know what you do → would recommend), then **3–7 actions max**, sorted by impact. Genre pack ranks the backlog.

**Core 3 coverage rule:** **GBP** is richest; Apple Business Connect mid; Bing Places thinnest. Pack actions: set on GBP; mirror on Apple/Bing where the field exists.

## Sourced Core 3 map + deep examples (planning-rev2)

- [Core 3 sourced field map](./genre-packs/core3-field-map.md) — **SoT for fields** (no guessing)
- [Core 3 source URLs](./genre-packs/SOURCES.md) — GBP / Apple / Bing links to reopen
- [Salon](./genre-packs/salon.md) — genre application notes (illustrative only)
- [Bakery](./genre-packs/bakery.md) — same

## Earlier planned packs (from main / prior docs)

- Auto repair (see [UC-01](./use-cases/uc-01-endpoint-auto-repair.md))
- Beauty (overlaps salon — reconcile later)
- Home services
- Tourism activity ([UC-02](./use-cases/uc-02-intermediate-tourism-board.md))
- Local retail / general store ([UC-03](./use-cases/uc-03-local-retail-general-store.md))

## Why this matters

Assistants evaluate helpfulness by whether the business answers the *right* questions for its category. Salon booking ≠ bakery known-for products.
