What this mock is — and isn't
These pages use a small, verified sample of titles and links from the goldhammers readings export, labeled under the approved ontology for design review only. They are not the finished labeling of the 2,897-row Combined sheet, which is not deduplicated and still needs the full labeling pass. The Unique tab's pre-existing flag columns were not touched. The structure here follows the feel you liked — a numbered path, level tracks, most-asked questions up front, and a topic grid — implemented in our own design, with no text, images, or branding copied from that site.
