docs(validation): beta audit batch 2026-08-15 — 8 reviewed runs

Reviewer disposition pass applied per locked process v1.0 (docs/operations/beta-audit-process.md):
- Each run: raw capture, findings.json, findings.md, REPORT-final.md (customer-facing), VALIDATION.md (reviewer dispositions)
- Normalized format false-positives (+1 prefix, #N vs Ste N, 8AM vs 8:00AM, 1800 scraper parse glitch)
- Material: 28 across batch (phone mismatches, NAP address conflicts, hours divergences, missing LocalBusiness schema, missing website)
- Verification-pending items separated from material findings; no surface presented without evidence

## Findings
### Finding #1: Address inconsistent across 1 surface(s)

- **Category:** Digital Identity

}
```
### Finding #2: Hours mismatch on 5 day(s) — GBP is authoritative
- **Severity:** 🟥 Immediate
- **Category:** Google Business
- **Recommendation:** Correct hours on non-GBP surfaces to match GBP. Mismatched hours cause customer complaints and trust loss.

[
{

}
]
```
### Finding #3: Review count varies by 147 across surfaces
- **Severity:** 🟨 Medium
- **Category:** Reviews

"google": 104,
"apple": 251,
"bing": 248
}
```
### Finding #4: Category varies across surfaces: consumer sector, home service, plumber
- **Severity:** 🟨 Medium
- **Category:** Digital Identity
- **Recommendation:** Align primary category across all directories. GBP primary category is the ranking driver.
- **Evidence:** ```json
{
"google": "plumber",
"apple": "consumer sector",
"bing": "home service"
}
```
### Finding #5: JSON-LD present but no LocalBusiness/BeautySalon type

{
"url": "https://dmartelplumbing.com/",
"has_jsonld": true,
"has_local_business": false
}
```
### Finding #6: Only 0% of sample reviews mention specific services or practitioners
- **Severity:** 🟩 Enhancement
- **Category:** Reviews
- **Recommendation:** Encourage detailed reviews mentioning services and staff. Specific reviews rank higher and convert better.
- **Evidence:** ```json
{
"sample_size": 6,
"specific_count": 0
}
```
### Finding #7: Price level not set on GBP or Apple Maps
- **Severity:** 🟩 Enhancement
