Below is a clear, implementation-grade classification of what should be Pages vs Posts vs Categories/Subcategories, plus what is scheduled.
This is structured so it can be used verbatim for WordPress setup, editorial workflow, and future scaling.

No hype. No ambiguity.

---

1. PAGES (STATIC / STRUCTURAL)

Pages define navigation, authority, and permanence.
They are not date-driven.
