Published on 2026-07-17 after source-mapped drafting, FDA claim review, unique heroes, metafields, and live-URL QA. Pulse Oximeter is surfaced from approved discovery links.

Hold

Still unpublished after triage. Needs ownership, keyword, or clinical-claim evidence before any Publish decision.

Hold
Proposed page Decision Reason / unblock rule Verification

Home Security System
home-security-system-guide

Hold for differentiation

Whole-system boundary is defensible around contracts, monitoring, outage backup, installation, response workflow, and privacy. Keyword intent and service scope remain uncleared.

Review

Still unpublished. Review requires an editorial and ownership decision before a publish gate can open.

Voice Assistants
voice-assistants-guide

Review required

Accessibility and privacy boundary is defensible with FCC/CISA sources, but keyword, title, and packet still need coordinated retargeting.

Validation

Still unpublished. Validation requires corrected evidence or packet inputs, not page drafting.

Validation required

Smart Home ownership and a safety boundary are resolved. The polluted keyword and generic packet still block Publish.
