## Critical Issues (Fix Immediately)

### 1. K8: Canonical Chaos ⚠️ P0
**~40+ pages have wrong canonical pointing to www.landvex.com**

The www subdomain 301 redirects back to non-www, creating an SEO redirect loop that confuses search engines.

**Affected pages include:**
- All /verticals/* pages (6 pages)
- All /intelligence/* pages (10 pages)  
- All /cities/* pages (11 pages)
- All legal pages: /privacy, /terms, /security, /trust, /compliance, /cookie-policy, /dpa, /data-lineage, /data-quality, /subprocessors, /sla
- All service pages: /about, /careers, /contact, /reports, /pilot, /accessibility
- /methodology/, /enterprise/
- Two pages have canonical pointing to `/` instead of self: /intelligence/development-forecast-index/, /intelligence/risk-resilience-index/

**Fix:** Mass replace `www.landvex.com` → `landvex.com` in all HTML files, OR implement CloudFront function to rewrite headers.

**Requires:** Erik/Johan (S3/CloudFront access)

---

### 2. K6: /comparison is Duplicate Content ⚠️ P1
`/comparison` has identical content to homepage with canonical pointing to `/`. This wastes crawl budget.

**Fix:** 301 redirect /comparison → / or remove from S3.

**Requires:** Erik/Johan (S3/CloudFront access)

---

### 3. K7: /intelligence-map Content-Type ⚠️ P1
May have incorrect S3 metadata. Currently returns `text/html` but historically had issues.

**Fix:** Verify and fix S3 metadata if needed.

**Requires:** Erik/Johan (AWS S3 access)

---

## Content Consistency Issues (Can Fix with HTML Editing)

### 4. H15: Taxonomy Mismatch
- Methodology hero says "Five interlocked layers"
- But lists 6 dimensions: Opportunity, Growth, Commercial Vitality, Infrastructure Stability, Tourism Potential, Investment Confidence
- **Fix:** Change "Five" → "Six" in methodology hero

### 5. H16: Location vs Investment Attractiveness
- Homepage links to `/intelligence/investment-attractiveness-index/` but labels it "Location Attractiveness Index"
- **Fix:** Change label to "Investment Attractiveness Index"

### 6. H30: Pipeline Steps Mismatch
- Methodology: 5 layers
- Enterprise: 4 steps (Discovery → Pilot definition → Pilot delivery → Enterprise subscription)
- How it works: 4 steps
- **Fix:** Add 5th step to Enterprise or document why different

### 7. H12: Navigation Inconsistency
- 4 different nav variants across pages
- **Fix:** Standardize to single nav structure

### 8. K9: Footer/Branding Inconsistencies
- © format varies across pages (3 different formats found)
- HQ info present on some pages, missing on others
- Status banner only on methodology
- **Fix:** Standardize all footers

## Bonus Findings

1. **CloudFront cache errors:** `x-cache: Error from cloudfront` observed - may indicate cache config issues
2. **Sitemap only has 5 URLs** - should include all major pages
3. **Robots.txt allows all** - good, but could be more specific
