editorial: Feb 2026 content batch review + market maturity rewrite

5-pass editorial pipeline across 11 cornerstone articles (6 DE + 5 EN)
and 3 bilingual pSEO templates. All pieces scored ≥4.4 and cleared the
publish threshold.

Critical/High fixes applied:
- Ceiling height inconsistency: 7m → 8m in build guide tables (EN + DE)
- HTML <span> tags removed from meta_description_pattern in all 3 templates
- German gendering violations fixed in padel-halle-bauen-de (4 instances)
- Grammatical gender fix: "Das häufigste Vorabend-Fehler" → "Der häufigste Fehler"
- Noun capitalisation: "sport" → "Sport" in padel-standort-analyse-de

Medium fixes applied:
- Varied repeated "well-run padel halls" phrase in EN investment risks article
- Orphaned F&B note elevated to bold callout
- Colloquial idiom replaced in EN cost guide
- "analyze" → "analyse" (British English) in EN location guide

P4-A resolved: replaced static German city-tier lists in both location
guide articles with a universal "market maturity stages" framework section
(established / growth / emerging markets). Articles are now country-agnostic
and link to pSEO country overview pages for live market data.

7 open improvement items remain (P1-A/B, P2-A/B/C, P3-A, P4-B/C) — none
are publish blockers. See docs/editorial-review-2026-02.md.

 Courts need replacing. Artificial turf has a lifespan of five to eight years. Glass panels and framework require regular inspection and periodic replacement. If this isn't in your long-term financial model, you're looking at a significant unplanned capital call in year six or seven. Budget a per-court annual refurbishment reserve — and set it conservatively above zero.

+**A note on F&B:** Running a café or bar inside your facility is an entirely different business — different skills, thin margins, and separate regulatory requirements.
