Leonard 394d5dae3f feat(auditing): pipeline v1.1 — report generation + scripted gate + temporal delta
- report_generate.py: REPORT-final.md + VALIDATION.md from findings + raw
  capture; per-surface status from summary.surfaces_ok; Data Limitations
- report_gate.py: §6 gate scripted (count/evidence/identity/material
  support); non-zero exit blocks delivery
- audit_diff.py: before/after capture comparison -> DELTA.md
- audit_pipeline.sh: 2 steps -> 4; collision-safe capture copy (re-runs
  preserve baseline); relative output dir resolved to absolute
- beta-audit-process.md: locked v1.0 -> v1.1 (+ dated decision record)
- all 9 runs of the 2026-08-15 batch regenerated + gated (9/9 PASS)
- live end-to-end proof: Gilmore re-run, DELTA.md 0 changes (same day)

Findings

Finding 1: Hours mismatch between Google and Apple

Observation:
monday: Google “7 AM-7 PM” vs Apple “8:00 AM-5:00 PM”; tuesday: Google “7 AM-7 PM” vs Apple “8:00 AM-5:00 PM”; wednesday: Google “7 AM-7 PM” vs Apple “8:00 AM-5:00 PM”; thursday: Google “7 AM-7 PM” vs Apple “8:00 AM-5:00 PM”; friday: Google “7 AM-7 PM” vs Apple “8:00 AM-5:00 PM”

Impact:
Customers planning a visit see different availability depending on which directory they use. Mismatched hours drive no-shows and lost calls at the edge of the workday.

Recommendation:
Verify actual operating hours with the business. Update the non-authoritative surface to match Google's verified schedule, or correct Google if its hours are inaccurate.


Finding 2: JSON-LD present but no LocalBusiness type

Observation:
schema at https://dmartelplumbing.com/ lacks LocalBusiness/Dentist/Plumber type — AI/structured data can't classify the business

Impact:
Without LocalBusiness structured data, AI assistants and structured search cannot reliably classify or cite the business's services, hours, and area served.

Recommendation:
Add LocalBusiness JSON-LD (Dentist/Plumber/Contractor type) with name, address, phone, hours, and areaServed.


Data Limitations

This audit ran without authenticated access to the business's listings. Known ceilings:

  • Review text and dates were not captured; ratings and counts only.
  • Bing Places is bot-walled for headless capture in most runs; where it shows ✗ above, that surface is excluded from this audit, not verified.
  • This is a point-in-time snapshot; directory data changes after the audit date.

Prepared under the VeriPath beta audit process v1.1. Findings reflect reviewed engine output; format-level discrepancies were normalized before inclusion.
