### CORE-EEAT Meta Tag Alignment

   | Check | Status | Notes |
   |-------|--------|-------|
   | **C01 Intent Alignment**: Title promise matches actual content delivery | ✅/⚠️/❌ | [Does the title accurately represent what the page delivers?] |
   | **C02 Direct Answer**: Meta description reflects the core answer available in first 150 words | ✅/⚠️/❌ | [Does the description preview the direct answer?] |

   **If C01 fails**: Title is misleading — rewrite to match actual content.
   **If C02 fails**: Content may need restructuring to front-load the answer, or description should better reflect available content.
