-- If any legacy `config.nav` entries still include old/unused links, optionally clean that array in `site.config.js` for full parity with curated header/footer nav.
-- Consider per-page metadata and richer alt text pass for SEO/accessibility polishing.
+## 8) SEO and UX pass (this revision)
+- Added global per-page metadata defaults in `views/layout.ejs`:
+  - unique `<title>` + meta description mapping by `pageName`
+  - canonical URLs
+  - Open Graph + Twitter card defaults
+- Improved internal linking and anchors:
+  - Home evidence CTA links to `/research#sources`
+  - News press list has `#press-links`
+  - Research source section has `id="sources"`
+- Replaced homepage research-adjacent visual with product imagery (`config.assets.images.product`) to avoid profile-style mismatch.
+- Updated logo presentation in header/footer via transparent styling (removed white box treatment).
+- Added shared UI consistency styles for new patterns: `.stats-showcase`, `.capability-grid`, `.people-list`, `.person-row`.
+
+## 9) Known TODOs
+- If route-level rendering does not pass expected `pageName` values on some pages, map those names in server routes so metadata mapping applies exactly.
+- Optional next pass: expand structured data (`JSON-LD`) for organization and article/news items.
