Priority Legend:

• 🎯 HIGH-VALUE - Competitive keywords, commercial/pillar content

Validation Checklist

⭐ Critical Checks (Must Pass - Every Article)

• Human voice test - Read first 3 paragraphs aloud. Would someone guess AI wrote this? If yes, rewrite with more variety and imperfection
• Component density - Count all components (QueryAnswer, TL;DR, ExpertInsight, EngagementHook, etc). Max 5-7 (standard), 8-12 (pillar)
• Intentional typos - Count typing errors. Need 2-4 per article (thier, recieve, definately). NOT grammar errors
• AI pattern detection - Check for: All answer-first paragraphs? Transition words (Moreover, Furthermore)? Meta-commentary (It's important to note)? If yes, fix
