Why a quality gate, not a checklist

Most programmatic SEO failures come from publishing pages that pass a checklist but fail the gate — the page has schema, but it's empty; the page has 700 words, but they're 600 boilerplate; the page has a canonical, but it points elsewhere. A quality gate refuses to publish the page until the rules pass. That's how we keep our own programmatic surface above the Helpful Content threshold — every URL clears the gate before it ships to the sitemap.
