Live verification matrix
| Area | Status | URL | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Homepage | PASS | / | Homepage remains the pre-existing root page, as intended. |
| Newark city hub | PASS | /cities/newark/ | Canonical trailing-slash page is live. |
| Hoboken city hub | PASS | /cities/hoboken/ | Evidence-led Hoboken hub is deployed. |
| Knowledge catalog | PASS | /knowledge/ | Catalog and later operational links are visible. |
| Answer objects | PASS | /answers/ | Visible answer objects and machine endpoints are linked. |
| Assessment interoperability | PASS | /assessment/ | Assessment layer is deployed. |
| Facility knowledge layer | PASS | /facilities/ | Facility profiles remain framed as verified records, not rankings. |
| County hubs | PASS | /counties/ | County consolidation layer is deployed. |
| Bergen County | PASS | /counties/bergen-county/ | Canonical county target is live. |
| Entity graph JSON | PASS | /data/entity-graph.json | Machine-readable Phase 13 graph is accessible. |
| AI visibility dashboard | PASS | /ai-visibility/ | AI citations remain correctly marked unmeasured. |
| Knowledge-gap engine | PASS | /knowledge-gaps/ | 50 seeded remediation items visible; no fabricated AI citation failures. |
| Knowledge operations | PASS | /operations/ | Cadence and freshness program visible. |
| Production audit | PASS | /production-audit/ | Production audit visible after deployment. |
| robots.txt | REVIEW | /robots.txt | Tool limitation or server response should be independently verified in browser/curl. |
| sitemap.xml | REVIEW | /sitemap.xml | Not a failure by itself. Verify browser accessibility and GSC sitemap status. |
| Trailing-slash normalization | REVIEW | /cities/newark | Check live 301/308 behavior for non-slash -> slash URLs with Hostinger/curl or browser devtools. |
| Search-surface discovery | REVIEW | / | This is not definitive indexing evidence. Use GSC URL Inspection and Page Indexing report. |
Important findings
- Core Phase 10-19 public layers are live.
- The machine-readable entity graph is live.
- AI visibility is still correctly marked unmeasured until direct observations are logged.
- robots.txt and sitemap.xml need direct browser/GSC confirmation because the web retrieval system could not fully validate those endpoints.
- Trailing-slash redirect behavior should be checked at the HTTP status level.
- Search index status must be judged from GSC URL Inspection and Page Indexing, not site: search alone.
