Maintenance Notes
The source log records consolidated publication of this 15-day GEO work on 2026-06-01. Its subsequent plan was to keep URLs, sitemaps, canonicals, primary navigation and core content stable, limiting changes to necessary factual corrections, evidence additions and light maintenance. This is a historical plan, not a statement that later updates did not occur.
- Content updates: add necessary facts without repeatedly changing URLs, titles or page hierarchy.
- Evidence updates: state evidence, status and limitations without exaggerating patents, cases or performance figures.
- Technical updates: record public changes to crawling, Schema, sitemaps, canonicals and internal links.
- Retest updates: publish schedules, metric definitions and summaries, retaining raw conversations and sensitive materials in client reports or internal archives.
