Cookie Banner Update — UX Benchmark
CPRA + WCAG 2.2 compliance update. 6 B2B competitors (Globant, Accenture, Perficient, Thoughtworks, SoftServe, EPAM), 5 CMP references, 3 best-in-class (GOV.UK, Shadcn, DataGrail). Pattern analysis, P1–P3 opportunities, recommended direction (bottom bar + progressive disclosure + equal-weight CTAs + tertiary "Manage Preferences"), and emulate-vs-avoid guardrails.

Case-studies Surface — Page Analysis (GII-608)
Context for the case-studies collection refresh. Two page types in scope: the /clients/ listing (including industry sub-pages) and individual /case-studies/<slug> pages. Last 90 days (2026-02-23 → 2026-05-25). Eight chapters: volume, inbound/outbound journeys, conversion impact at same-session, multi-session user, and post-hit levels, engagement, return rate, per-study spread, industry breakdown, listing↔case-study cohort split.
SEO Page Redesigns — Weekly GA Performance (2026)
Pure-GA before/after read of the five 2026 SEO page redesigns (Software Outsourcing, Software Development Services, Staff Augmentation, Dedicated Teams, Nearshore). 4 of 5 pages gained engaged-reader time-on-page once bouncer noise is stripped; Outsourcing is the only page where engaged-hit engagement got worse; conversion is not measurable at this volume. Includes channel split (no paid campaign behind the lift), landing vs mid-session split, Jira initiative + engineering epic + deploy-date inventory, weekly distribution box-plots, and inline SQL.
