## Challenges & Solutions

**Challenge 1: Slug Inconsistency**
- Issue: Scaffold script created directory with umlaut (vorstellungsgespräch) instead of without (vorstellungsgespraech)
- Solution: Adjusted all subsequent commands and file paths to use the correct slug with umlaut

**Challenge 2: Content Outline Parsing**
- Issue: `generate-section-briefs.php` failed to parse H2 sections from `CONTENT_OUTLINE.md` due to incorrect markdown heading format (`### H2 1:`)
- Solution: Analyzed working example (`kreditorenbuchhaltung/CONTENT_OUTLINE.md`) and adjusted H2 format to numbered bolded structure (`1. **H2: Title**`)

**Challenge 3: Word Count Discrepancy**
- Issue: `competitive-depth-analysis.md` recommended 9,900 words, significantly higher than plan's target of 2,000-2,500 words
- Solution: Adhered to plan's specified target for focused, comprehensive content rather than bloated content

**Challenge 4: Lead Capture Copy Generation**
- Issue: Script failed with "No benefit mapping for slug 'vorstellungsgespräch'"
- Solution: Manually added lead capture copy to `v2/data/lead_capture_copy.php` with post-hire focus (onboarding, digitale Personalakte)

**Challenge 5: Related Posts Missing Required Posts**
- Issue: Script-generated related posts didn't include required posts (recruiting, candidate-journey, assessment-center, personalauswahl)
- Solution: Manually added required posts to `related_posts` array at the beginning (highest priority)
