Built the insulation cost guide at /Users/chris/Claude/Claude Builds/claver/public/guides/insulation-cost.html (canonical https://goclaver.com/guides/insulation-cost), cloned verbatim from /tmp/guide-template.html.

WHAT IT ANSWERS: "How much does home insulation installation cost" — answer-first, leading with the verified national RANGE ($1.00–$4.50/sq ft installed; $1,500–$10,000 per project) in the first two sentences of both the hero lede and the body lead, never a single flat number.

PRICING-GUIDE MANDATE compliance (market-dependent, accurate, no guessing):
- Lead with the verified blended range + project range; explicitly frames low end (single-area blown-in/batt in low-cost market) vs high end (closed-cell whole-home in high-cost metro with removal + air sealing).
- "What moves your quote" section covers all 10 verified drivers in impact order: region/metro, material type/grade, scope/home size, access complexity, existing-insulation removal, R-value by climate zone, season/demand, labor market/urgency, permits.
- Verified line-item bands in the at-a-glance table (8 rows: batts, blown-in fiberglass, blown-in cellulose, mineral wool, open/closed-cell spray foam, attic project, whole-home project) plus rigid foam in the body.
- Honest "costs less vs costs more" section with concrete endpoints.
- Full regional breakdown (Northeast/NYC outlier, West Coast/Bay Area, Midwest, South, rural Southeast, Mountain West) plus the Gordian Q1 2026 ~19% YoY fiberglass material-price note.
- Confidence is "medium" per the data, so language hedges ("most attic jobs run $1,000–$3,500; expect the high end for...").
- Non-pushy closing tie-in ("How insulation shops quote and collect this") referencing quotes/deposits/financing and Claver Starter $19/mo.
- ZERO fabricated precision — verified grep confirms no invented "$X average"; all numbers trace to the supplied dataset.

STRUCTURE / TECHNICAL VALIDATION (all passing):
- Full template structure + entire <style> block + all 4 @@PARTIAL marker pairs (nav, footer, exit-popup, signup-modal) cloned verbatim, including the full signup JS — matches every shipped guide (file is 70,281 bytes / 1,064 lines, in line with siblings at 64–70KB).
- Both JSON-LD blocks (BreadcrumbList + FAQPage) are valid JSON.
- All 5 FAQ <details> answers match the FAQPage JSON-LD acceptedAnswer text EXACTLY (programmatically verified, normalized for entities/whitespace). FAQ questions: total cost, attic cost, cheapest type, spray foam cost, what drives the price.
- canonical + og:url both = https://goclaver.com/guides/insulation-cost (real).
- Year is 2026 throughout (24 mentions, 0 pre-2026).
- In-place signup CTA href="/?plan=starter" with "Start for $19/mo" (4 instances).
- Cross-links present: /industries/insulation (verified the page exists) and the /guides/ hub.
- No free-tier language in marketing copy (the only "free plan"/"no card" strings are inside the verbatim signup-modal partial JS, identical to template).
- Tag balance OK (5 sections, 5 details, 1 table, 58 divs all balanced; the 5/4 <script> count is a template-identical artifact of the literal text "<script>" inside a JS comment, not a real imbalance).
- Pricing facts correct: Starter $19/mo flat.
