Door sill rotten

I went to replace some weather stripping on a daylight basement door and noticed the sill under the aluminum threshold was rotten. I wanted to see how deep it went and ended up chiseling everything out up to the foundation, and a bit of subfloor came up with it. There's a small concrete pad outside and a little trench between the foundation and the pad. Whatever was there before had no flashing - it was just lumber in the dirt, so it's no wonder it rotted.

How do I go about fixing this? I've never done a job like this, and I'm not sure what a proper one looks like.
