  "statement": "Any page the registration references must load — no broken internal links, 404s, or links pointing at the wrong page.",
  "rationale": "A reviewer following a link from the registration into a 404 concludes the site is unmaintained, and unmaintained sites are the ones that disappear between submission and the vet weeks later. The links that break are almost always the ones nobody clicks: the policy page renamed during a redesign, the old opt-in path left in the message flow.",
