Integrity Pass
- Link fixes: 33 (28 us-club-soccer + 5 retargets in updates/)
- Cross-links added: auto-extracted via voice-cleanup rewrites (count not separately tracked)
- Stubs created from entity extraction: 14 (3 facilities/tournaments + 11 people)
- SYNRGY-angle lint: 285 HIGH → 258 HIGH (-27); 803 → 776 flagged files
- Tax-status lint: 109 unknowns remain queued for ProPublica lookup
Research Progress
- Topics completed (refresh queue): Arkansas Rising, Nashville SC Academy, Sporting Springfield, Florida Kraze Krush, Vermont/Rhode Island/New Hampshire markets
- Voice cleanup batches: 33 articles dropped to zero HIGH/MEDIUM violations
- Topics partially completed: Editorial-voice cleanup of remaining 2-HIGH-and-below articles (~225 still queued — 1H-only articles plus articles flagged by lint at run time but not yet on the daily cleanup list)
- Next up: AGENDA #44 (MLS Next / ECNL recent structural changes) —
industry/mls-next-ecnl-evolution.mdexists but per AGENDAEditorial-Voice Cleanup Queueit has 8 SYNRGY mentions still flagged, so a voice-cleanup-plus-extension pass is the right next move; or continue draining the Pages Needing Refresh queue (target-usa-cup, las-vegas-mayors-cup, players-college-showcase, great-park-sports-complex, jim-rasmussen still flagged thin)
Open Questions / Issues for Trevor
- Arkansas Rising EIN cross-reference discrepancy — ProPublica filing under “Riverdale Soccer Club” but Cause IQ shows “Arkansas United Soccer Club” — need a name-change-of-record check.
- Florida Kraze Krush 990 not yet retrieved — EIN confirmed (46-2500626) but actual financials not in this pass; queued for next backfill.
- MLS Next / ECNL evolution article (AGENDA #44) already exists with 8 SYNRGY mentions — a clean rewrite plus 2026 update is the obvious next research topic.
- Pages Needing Refresh list still contains ~38 thin articles (target-usa-cup voice-cleaned but body still 187 words; eden-prairie-soccer-club, mclean-youth-soccer, fairfax-virginia-union, minneapolis-united, etc.).
