Tests, explainers and indexing notes
No list posts here. The tables are the lists. This is where we publish the things behind them: submission tests with dates and screenshots, explainers written for someone who has never heard the jargon, and a monthly note on what changed in indexing.
One test report a quarter, one indexing note a month, everything else opportunistic.
