# Scheduling

> Durable automated work over time: triggers, targets, occurrences, and delivery policies.

Scheduling is Meerkat’s durable automation model.

It exists to answer:

* what should run later?
* when should it run?
* where should it be delivered?
* what happens if it overlaps, misfires, or loses its target?

## Why this is a concept

Scheduling is more than a set of tool names. It introduces durable entities:

* schedules
* occurrences
* triggers
* targets
* delivery policies

## Mental model

```text theme={null}
schedule
  -> projected occurrences
  -> due delivery
  -> session or mob target
```

## What this concept owns

* durable time-based automation semantics
* occurrence lifecycle
* target delivery model

Scheduling owns time and delivery. WorkGraph owns live durable work state,
readiness, claims, dependencies, and evidence.
