This page is the map of wahliao.com and the registry of who owns what. One address owns each search intent. Hubs are pages, curated and canonical. Verdicts are posts, dated and categorised by desk. Recurring instruments are pages rebuilt in place at one address. The existing How Shopping Works hub is the Mechanics layer and keeps its address. The 2013 archive stays exactly where it is. Built 26 September 2026 from the White Paper and the Masterplan.
