pastesiteWhat each page answers
A search result is an answer to a question someone typed. These pages are written and checked that way: each guide, article and collection page below carries at least one heading shaped like the question its section answers, because that heading is what a result snippet and a retrieval step can quote.
The table is generated from the same content the pages are built from, so it cannot describe a site that no longer exists.
How many pages answer a question?
15 pages are checked by the build: 5 guides, 7 articles and 3 collection pages. 15 of them carry a question-shaped heading (100%). A page whose headings only make statements fails the build, so this list cannot quietly shrink.
The same check runs weekly over the published site and over the drafts waiting to be released, so a page that loses its question is seen before it costs a visit.

How is this list kept current?
The build regenerates this page from the guide, article and collection content, and refuses to generate a page whose headings only make statements. Nothing here is typed by hand, so there is no second copy to fall out of date. How the site is built explains the rest of the approach.
