- Priority

- Hard gate

- Change class
- READ_ONLY: Inspect authorised evidence.
- Quality bucket
- Not scored: hard gate only
Evidence to review
- Source ledger, capability record and the exact supporting claim.
How to implement

- Detect redirects, topic changes, conflicting updates and retired features.
- Separate documentation verification from account-level availability.
- Expire affected assumptions without disabling unrelated safe work.
How UltimateSEO checks this
