  7. Final Review against Constraints:

    • Raw HTML only? Yes.
    • Start with H1? Yes.
    • Date paragraph? Yes.
    • 5-8 H2s? Yes (6 planned).
    • H2s as full questions? Yes.
    • 2+ paragraphs per H2? Yes.
    • 1800 words? I will write extensively.
    • No banned phrases? I will scan carefully.
    • No placeholders? Yes.

Self-Correction during drafting: I need to make sure I don’t accidentally use “comprehensive guide” or “delve”. I need to ensure the word count is high enough. I will expand the personal experience narratives in each section. I will ensure the internal links look natural.

Word Count Estimation:
Intro: 200 words
H2 Sections (6 x 300 words): 1800 words
FAQ: 300 words
Conclusion: 200 words
Total: ~2500 words (Safe buffer).

Wait, one critical check: The prompt says “Output ONLY raw HTML. No markdown, no code fences, no explanation, no preamble.”
I must not include “`html around the output. Just the tags.

Another critical check: “Each H2 section must have at least 2 paragraphs of content before the next H2”. I will ensure line breaks <p> are used correctly.

Schema Check: The schema must match the FAQ content exactly.
