# Current Priority Orbit derivation for the project

`GET /projects/{id}/prioritization`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.apphandoff.com/api`
- URL: `https://api.apphandoff.com/api/projects/{id}/prioritization`
- Auth: API key in cookie `sb-access-token`

Returns the project's stored topic derivation with each topic's tickets hydrated LIVE from handoff_requests, so a ticket closed since the derivation is returned with `closed: true` rather than dropped. `derivation: null` means the project has never been derived — the portal renders the "Derive topics" empty state.

## Path parameters

- `id` string, uuid, required

## Response `200`

Current derivation (or null) with its topics

- PrioritizationView
  - `derivation` object, nullable, required

    - `name` string, required
    - `short_name` string, required: 1-3 word label for the orbit node.
    - `band` 'now' | 'next' | 'watch', required: When to act — the orbit ring, not the topic's size.
    - `outcome` string, required
    - `grouping_reason` string, required
    - `sort_order` integer, required
    - `tickets` PrioritizationTicket[], required
      - `id` string, uuid, required
      - `number` integer, required: The in-product HO serial (HO-<number>).
      - `title` string, required
      - `stage` 'backlog' | 'up_next' | 'in_progress' | 'validation' | 'live', required
      - `status` 'open' | 'closed', required
      - `priority` 'low' | 'medium' | 'high', required
      - `closed` boolean, required: Read live at request time, not frozen with the derivation. A ticket closed since the derivation stays in its topic and renders as done.
