Structured data article workflow

  1. Pick a field and question with policy/public-interest relevance.
  2. Collect latest official dataset snapshots and log source URLs + timestamps.
  3. Clean and normalize data; document assumptions and limitations.
  4. Generate 3 findings: trend, anomaly, and local impact angle.
  5. Publish with chart, downloadable table, and clear methodology block.
  6. Add structured metadata (NewsArticle + Dataset hints) for SEO/AEO/GEO discoverability.
