In short: three names this week (Suganthan Mohanadasan's research, Rand Fishkin's video, Dixon Jones's commentary) all pointed at the same thing and corrected the most expensive misunderstanding in GEO.

About 33 times the difference. So the fan-out isn't a search for candidates, it's the model walking down a list it already had. Here's what that means, plus the one test to run this week.
