+# Phase 20AP - Asset Intelligence Review and Import
+
+Phase 20AP adds the first implemented Asset Intelligence import stage to the Story Intelligence pipeline.
+
+The stage uses only stored Scene Intelligence JSON from completed chapter runs. It does not make additional OpenAI calls and does not change the Scene Intelligence prompts.
+
+## Implemented Asset Stage
+
+After Character Review/Import and Location Review/Import, the pipeline now continues to:
+
+- Review Assets
+- Create Assets
+- Complete
+
+Resume support routes books with completed characters and locations, but incomplete assets, directly to Asset Review.
+
+## Source Data
+
+Asset candidates are built from:
+
+- `assets[]` in stored Scene Intelligence results
+- entity-mappable observations whose subject or object is an Asset/Object
+
+The import does not reread the manuscript and does not send raw text back to AI.
+
+## Candidate Filtering
+
+The asset resolver keeps story-significant objects such as:
+
+- TR6
+- rucksack
+- note
+- letter
+- necklace
+- driving licence
+- car keys
+- passport
+- envelope
+- photograph
+- map
+- diary
+- notebook
+
+It suppresses generic scenery, furniture, broad locations and incidental items unless there is repeated story significance or clear asset signal.
+
+## Duplicate and Alias Handling
+
+Asset variants are folded into one review candidate where safe.
+
+Examples:
+
+- `red notebook`, `the notebook`, `old notebook` -> `Notebook`
+- `photo` -> `Photograph`
+- `driving license` -> `Driving licence`
+
+The review screen supports:
+
+- create new asset
+- link to existing asset
+- create separate asset
+- alias/variant of another reviewed asset
+- ignore
+
+## Imported Fields
+
+Approved assets create or link:
+
+- `StoryAssets`
+- `AssetAliases`
+- `AssetEvents`
+- `AssetCustodyEvents` only when owner/holder text resolves to an existing character
+
+Asset kind is mapped to existing lookup values such as Document, Evidence, Vehicle or Physical Object. New lookup values are not created.
+
+Scene appearances are imported as Asset Events so they appear in the Scene Inspector World panel and on Asset pages/timelines.
+
+## Not Yet Implemented
+
+The following remain future Story Intelligence stages:
+
+- relationships
+- knowledge
+- continuity
+- real timeline events
+- full asset dependency modelling
+- unresolved owner creation
+
+No placeholder characters or owners are created by this phase.
