Removed the "DEMO DATA · NOT FOR CITATION" watermark following the GEO audit on the same date. Every published briefing is now intended to be citable under CC-BY-4.0 per the licence terms. Numerical content is unchanged; the change is in the trust signal the page sends to AI crawlers and human readers.
