## Quality Rules Met (per article)

All articles were generated under strict constraints:
- No markdown headers (##, ###) anywhere in body
- No bullet lists as structural elements
- No LaTeX formulas
- No banned AI phrases ("leverage", "optimize", "game-changer", etc.)
- No spec dumps or comparison tables
- No OEM pricing presented as compatible pricing
- No sales language ("BUY / AVOID", verdict blocks)
- DR4 connector: MPO-12 (never LC)
- DR4 wavelength: 1310nm (never 1550nm)
- 400ZR and DR4 treated as distinct technologies
- No per-port power figures >25W
- No made-up part numbers
- Only CMOS/physics-grounded values
- One core thesis per article
- Flexoptix FINAL OUTCOME TEST: reader finishes ready to validate properly, not defaulting to OEM

## Usage for BlogLLM Training

1. Import these as positive examples into the fine-tuning dataset
2. Each article is ~800-1200 words (production blog length)
3. Type field maps to generation template types in `fo-blog-pipeline.ts`
4. These represent the output quality gate — generated articles should be compared to these for scoring

## Adding More Training Data

Generate via API: `POST /api/blog/generate` with `use_llm: "fo_pipeline"` + Claude provider, then export from DB as additional training examples.
