**Core 3 rule:** set on **GBP** first; mirror on Apple Business Connect / Bing Places where the field exists. GBP = richest; Apple = mid; Bing = thinnest.

**Evidence honesty (2026-09-15):** first matrices were SME/local-SEO practice + invented example businesses, **not** a live Core 3 schema dump. After Desk’s source check: Layer A fields are real across Core 3; dine-in/takeout/delivery and rich amenities are **GBP-strong** (Apple Good to Know partial; Bing thinner). “Homemade muffins” is **not** a Core-3 checkbox — description/photos/products + known-for.
