things to fix

Action test, 2026-10-14: partial, a path exists but an agent would struggle. There is a button or a form, but no complete booking or ordering flow an agent can finish on this page.

Provisional: the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.

Not asked yet. Assistants are asked about the top-ranked businesses in each city index, and about every claimed business the moment it is claimed; claim this page to be included.
