  Sitemap index — the ONE entry point for search-engine crawlers.
  Child sitemaps (each a well-formed <urlset>). The URL counts below are STAMPED
  from the files themselves by scripts/seo/stamp-sitemap-counts.mjs — never
  hand-written. Before 2026-07-28 they were prose ("the 2 real SPA shells",
  "the ~3,114 firm-directory pages") against files holding 11 and 2,479:
    · sitemap.xml           — 2 URLs — the real SPA shells (home EN/FR); KNOWN_PAGES-parity-gated (audit-seo-drift.mjs).
    · sitemap-teasers.xml   — 1,260 URLs — prerendered per-entity static pages (studies/concepts/academy + FR). GENERATED by scripts/seo/build-teaser-pages.mjs.
    · sitemap-directory.xml — 2,479 URLs — prerendered firm-directory pages (EN-only) + hub. GENERATED by scripts/seo/build-directory-pages.mjs.
    · sitemap-news.xml      — 1 URLs — the crawlable /news/ hub (curated SAP-analytics headlines, refreshed daily). GENERATED by scripts/build-news-feed.mjs.
    · sitemap-pillars.xml   — 6 URLs — the commercial pillar landings (/day-rates/ + /fr/tjm/, /opportunities/ + /fr/opportunites/), EN+FR hreflang. GENERATED by scripts/seo/build-pillar-pages.mjs.
    · sitemap-reference.xml — 6 URLs — the reference hubs (/glossary/, /tech-radar/, /teched/ + FR), EN+FR hreflang. GENERATED by scripts/seo/build-reference-pages.mjs.
  TOTAL declared: 3,754 unique URLs across the 6 children (one URL, one sitemap —
  audit-seo-drift.mjs check (a) fails on any URL declared by two children).
  <lastmod> is intentionally omitted here (optional in a sitemapindex): each child
  carries honest per-URL <lastmod>, and an index-level date would go stale on every
  build. robots.txt points crawlers here; the individual Sitemap: lines are kept as
  a belt-and-suspenders fallback for strict parsers.
