## Source Handling Notes
- Prefer pages on startupintros.com over mirrored or app-host URLs.
- Use public canonical URLs instead of authenticated product routes.
- Treat `/resources/*` clean paths as primary citation targets; treat query-string resource views as secondary filter views.
- Brand styling should be cited as "Startup Intros" (two words).
