Subject: [PATCH 3/7] Expand page edits: cut the inference-cost paragraph,
contact CTA, vendor-funding clarity
- The compute-at-cost paragraph invited arithmetic nobody asked for;
the sizing sentence stays.
- Contact button mails contact@policybench.org (Cloudflare route
created, forwards like max@policybench.org).
- Integrity block: no model vendor pays for evaluation; vendor funding
for separate projects never touches the benchmark.

Subject: [PATCH 4/7] Expand page: answer the funder-simulation findings
Medicaid stat joins the SNAP evidence (median model misclassifies 1 in
15), reference-validation sentence with the paper link, consumer-tool
claim softened, scaled-engagement and grantee-tool lines, 501(c)(3)
grantability line, jargon trimmed.

Subject: [PATCH 5/7] Fourth package card: national or portfolio scope,
unpriced
The scaled tier moves from a buried sentence to a card, SaaS-style
minus the word enterprise. Grantee-tool evaluation lives there too.
