Publishing gatesPublishing gate matrix
Each gate maps to a concrete risk that can make a small tool site look weak: thin indexable pages, copied examples, stale policies, mismatched crawl signals, or empty advertising placeholders.
Inventory value
PassIndexable pages expose a working generator, original guides, worked examples, and this audit lab instead of only navigation or policy text.
Original examples
PassThe example library contains page-type setups, field reasoning, avoid lists, and copy-ready snippets that are written for practical publishing decisions.
Crawl consistency
PassRobots, sitemap, canonical URLs, noindex utility pages, and public navigation are checked together before resubmission or deployment.
Trust pages
PassAbout, contact, privacy, cookies, terms, and editorial policy pages are available from the footer and describe the current implementation.
Review freshness
WatchReviewed dates are updated only when page copy, examples, source links, sitemap entries, or tool behavior changes.
Live parity
WatchThe public site must match this production build. A stale CDN or old deployment invalidates the local snapshot.
