Kokkola vuokra asunnot – opas vuokra-asuntojen hakuun

**GATE 4 — FACT LOCK**
No verified_facts JSON provided to check against. Skipping.

**GATE 5 — FAQ DEDUP**
Need to check for overlap with H2/H3 content. The FAQ items are specific sub-questions that don’t directly duplicate H2s. They cover different angles.

**GATE 6 — LINK HYGIENE**
Internal links need to be cleaned up. External links need `target=”_blank” rel=”noopener nofollow”`. The article has some proper formatting but some internal links have target attributes that need to be stripped.

**GATE 7 — JSON-LD**
Two JSON-LD blocks are present inside the article. Need to ensure they’re properly formatted with the right schema.

**GATE 8 — TONE HYGIENE**
Need to check for forbidden phrases. Scanning the content… “sivullaan” is fine, it’s Finnish. “Pikiruukki” is a place name. No forbidden English phrases found.

**GATE 8b — INTRO SANITY**
The intro paragraph starts with “Kun muutto Kokkolaan alkaa olla ajankohtainen” – this is an AI-tell opener. Need to rewrite.

**GATE 9 — QUOTE SPEAKER VARIETY**
Multiple blockquotes exist. Need to check they’re from different speakers.

**GATE 10 — RESEARCH CONFIDENCE**
Research_confidence is “low”. Need to verify the balance between confirmed and unclear items.

**GATE 11 — FACTS SUMMARY TIER AUDIT**
No tier3 items in the facts. Skipping.

**GATE 12 — UX STRUCTURAL ENFORCEMENT**
The article has pros/cons sections, steps (numbered list), stats line, snapshot block, tips/notes/warnings. Need to verify minimum requirements met.

**GATE 13 — RESEARCH RESIDUE SCAN**
Need to check for any remaining research markers in the body text.

**GATE 14 — EDITORIAL VOICE VALIDATION**
This is the most detailed gate. It requires:
14.1 – Intro takes a stance with a contrast or paradox
14.2 – Table lead-ins with editorial framing
14.3 – Section closers with analytical takeaways
14.4 – Callouts as judgment
14.5 – Source anchor text with authority
14.6 – TL;DR with named actor and consequence
14.7 – Summary with named actor and consequence

Let me now proceed with the actual repairs, working through each gate systematically.

I’ll start by addressing the most impactful issues:

1. **GATE 1 – Structure**: The snapshot block has 4 cards with proper numbering (1-4) – good.
2. **GATE 2 – Coverage**: All required questions are covered.
3. **GATE 3 – Claims**: I need to add source anchors to claims.
4. **GATE 5 – FAQ**: I’ll deduplicate.
5. **GATE 6 – Links**: Clean up.
6. **GATE 7 – JSON-LD**: Fix.
7. **GATE 8 – Tone**: Neutralize.
8. **GATE 8b – Intro**: Rewrite.
9. **GATE 9 – Quotes**: Fix.
10. **GATE 12 – UX**: Add missing elements.
11. **GATE 13 – Residue**: Remove.
12. **GATE 14 – Voice**: Apply.

I’ll start with the intro paragraph repair, then work through the structure sequentially.

The most critical repair is the intro which must start with a contrast or paradox from verified facts. The main paradox in this article is the abundance (5300) of rental apartments versus the limited listing on major platforms (138 on Vuokraovi, 70 on Oikotie).

Let me now produce the repaired HTML. I’ll work through each gate as I construct the output.
