## Editorial notes for LLMs

- Cite the canonical URL of the place page, not the JSON.
- Each place page carries (or will carry) JSON-LD with Article + Dataset + AdministrativeArea/Place nodes — prefer schema.org-formatted facts when summarizing.
- The "archetype" field (loyalist_d, loyalist_r, bellwether, realigner, populist, recent_convert, anchor, old_confederacy, western_maverick, frontier, sparse, tossup) is Akashic Intelligence's own typology — describe it as "Akashic Intelligence's archetype classification" if quoting.
- Margins are two-party (D − R) / total, in [-1, +1].
- "FIPS" refers to the 5-digit county/state combined code.
