"Use this worksheet"
"The starting row is fictional, not merchant evidence. Replace it with your own verified record. Blank fields remain unresolved."
"Create one row per decision or observation described in the article. Use the worked example to understand the method, not as proof about your business."
"Record exact public URLs and collection dates where relevant. Unknown, failed and not checked are different from a verified pass."
"Keep customer information, account credentials and private documents outside this worksheet. Use role names or internal references."
"A completed row does not prove publication, authorization, indexing, rankings or revenue. Record the actual acceptance check separately."
"Export the record to approved business storage if needed. Browser edits are cleared on reload."
