12. **Final Polish:**

*Self-Correction on Word Count:* 1800 words is quite long for a single response. I must ensure I do not cut corners. I will expand every paragraph to be 100-150 words minimum. 6 H2 sections x 3 paragraphs x 100 words = 1800 words roughly. Plus intro and FAQ. I need to be verbose.
*Self-Correction on H2 Count:* The prompt says “Exactly 5 to 8 H2 headings”. I will use 6.
*Self-Correction on FAQ:* FAQ section at the end: 5 questions as H3 tags.
*Self-Correction on Schema:* Must match the FAQ content.
