This episode covers three steps. Sort pages by how fast their topic changes, record reviews honestly, and agree on edit types with compliance ahead of time. A hypothetical adviser at a fictional firm shows how each step works. No engine says how much weight it gives a date, so the goal is accurate pages, not a ranking.
