Just out of curiousity, is this an editorial function, or does the author usually write the "scaling the adventure" sidebar?
Based on the guidelines, it appears to be the writer's responsibility.

The writer should provide a Scaling the Adventure sidebar in the final turnover to us. And yes, the words in that sidebar do count against your word total.
When writers forget to do one, I end up having to write them. Which unfortunately means that 50% of the time, I forget to write them. Whenever you see an adventure in Dungeon that doesn't have a Scaling the Adventure sidebar in it... that's why.
Which is also why I like the writer to write them. See paragraph #1 above.
