  MAINTENANCE NOTES (from your 2026-07 sitemap):
  - All URLs below are verified live paths from sitemap_07_09_2026.xml.
  - This is a CURATED shortlist of high-authority pages, not the full 1,526-URL
    sitemap. Deep archives (press releases, 300+ bios, 249 deal tearsheets) are
    intentionally left to the sitemap, not listed here.
  - No Diane Swonk / chief-economist landing page exists in the sitemap. If one
    is published, add it under "Insights" — it's your strongest AI-authority
    proof point and worth surfacing here explicitly.
  - Ideally serve a clean markdown twin of each page at the same URL + `.md`.
