Client Readiness Matrix

The client-readiness matrix maps minimum company-site needs to existing Corex or WordPress-native mechanisms. It is not the final Corex visual redesign. Its purpose is to show what can ship now with FSE templates, patterns, core blocks, Corex blocks, forms, and token-driven utilities.

Coverage Rules

• Prefer WordPress core blocks, block styles, and patterns before adding custom block scope.
• Use Corex blocks where a reusable server-rendered component already exists.
• Keep all styling token-only through theme.json CSS variables and runtime brand.json overrides.
• Keep layout RTL-first through logical CSS and WordPress direction-aware controls.
• Treat accessibility as part of readiness: keyboard behavior, labels, focus states, semantic headings, contrast, and WCAG 2.2 AA checks.
• Mark optional vertical needs as deferred unless the first client sites require them.

Matrix

Need	Mechanism	Source	Readiness
Home	Pattern	corex-ui landing/home sections	Free/Core, token-only, native FSE composition
About	Pattern	section-header and content-split patterns	Free/Core, core blocks plus Corex pattern structure
Services	Pattern	Group/columns, cards, stats patterns	Free/Core, no new block required
Contact	Form field	corex-forms schema and corex/form block	Free/Core, labels/errors/keyboard submission
Careers	Deferred	corex-careers add-on	Optional until a client needs jobs
Portfolio	Deferred	corex-kit-portfolio add-on	Optional until a client needs projects
Forms	Form field	corex-forms validator and dynamic form block	Free/Core trust baseline
Listings	Corex block	corex/posts and query/listing renderers	Free/Core reusable listing surface
Cards	Corex block	pricing, stat, posts, and card styles	Free/Core reusable content cards
Testimonials	Corex block	corex/testimonial and testimonial pattern	Free/Core quote semantics
CTAs	Corex block	corex/cta and CTA patterns	Free/Core link/button semantics
Media	WordPress core block style	image, gallery, media-text, cover	Free/Core, prefer native media blocks
Navigation	WordPress core block style	navigation block and theme parts	Free/Core, keyboard and current-page state
Page templates	Pattern	FSE templates plus section patterns	Free/Core, composed in the Site Editor
Admin component	Admin component	config forms and DataViews-ready admin surfaces	Free/Core internal setup surface
Token utility	Utility	theme.json, brand.json, logical CSS	Free/Core branding foundation

Existing DLS Links

• Components cover the reusable Corex block layer.
• Patterns cover section composition for company pages.
• Templates cover the FSE page surfaces.
• Gap analysis records the native-first decisions behind the DLS.

Readiness Command

wp corex readiness 0.26.1 reports component-coverage from the same default matrix used by the release tests. A passing result means required company-site needs are classified, no unknown mechanism is present, native mechanisms are preferred before new custom block scope, and no final visual redesign has entered the readiness work.
