What is working
A useful foundation is visible

What to strengthen next
Reduce uncached first-visit latency

Owned Facebook, LinkedIn and X profiles are linked from the site and identity-matched. The public sample did not establish a consistent recent posting cadence, so activity depth remains unassessed. Search-result snippets showed a modest Facebook audience, but follower counts and recent-post performance need an owner-authorised platform check.
