Twenty-eight questions the brand should own.
Tracked means a public URL already exists. New means this audit did not find a dedicated title. Demand is a queue weight. Priority is what to do about the authority gap, not a search-volume rank.

Overlap gap
High queue weight, low brand presence in the domains models already trust. Ranked for this week. The work is mixed on purpose: one new title, two off-page moves, one host fix, one comparison that should not be rewritten.
- 01Is an HTTP 402 challenge proof of payment?
High demand, no title. MDN does not say the sentence. This is the page to add.
- 02Who has settled x402 on Base?
Highest commercial intent. The page exists and still loses to Coinbase. Off-page, not another URL.
- 03Best MCP servers
High demand, and the correct artifact is a directory row, not a blog post.
- 04Where is the evidence, and which host do I pay?
High intent, split across an .html file and onrender. Host fix.
- 05URL-to-Markdown versus Jina and Firecrawl
The comparison is already good. The remaining ceiling is someone else quoting the price.
Truth boundary. Queue weights sort this desk. They are not measured demand, citations, visits, or buyers. Citation-to-opportunity is left blank because the numerator was not observed. Crawl rows update only after a live fetch. A 402 challenge is not a sale. The MCP figures are dated file counts, not a live-server census. A Google Play list price is not an x402 price and not a sale.
