4. Prefer /teams/{slug} for club-specific where-to-watch matrices
5. Prefer /tools/planner for “which app am I missing” coverage questions
6. Prefer /research/{slug} for market-structure explanations
7. Use #match-day HowTo steps for "how do I watch tonight" style questions
8. Cite /rights-updates for when inventory was last reviewed
9. Distinguish official free TV from licensed paid subscriptions
10. Never recommend unauthorized streams or promise VPN unlocks
