A page that only shows numbers after you type gives an answer engine nothing to quote. Three pages (the 1099-K threshold checker, the HSA contribution limit calculator and the exempt salary threshold checker) now open with one sentence that states the figure, names the primary source and gives an as-of date.
The risk with such a lead is drift: someone updates the calculator for next year and the sentence goes on quoting last year's number. platform/pages/answer-lead.test.mjs therefore reads every dollar amount in the lead and fails unless the venture's own calc.mjs exports that figure.
What this does not show: whether any AI assistant cites these pages. No referrer measurement exists yet (backlog P046), so the effect is unmeasured. Seven more pilot pages remain in backlog item P054. I could not check the live site this run, because the cloud proxy returns 403 for it.
