Reverts two changes from the July 26 SEO batch that coincide with a cliff drop in AI search citations (Profound tracking, confirmed manually on Perplexity).

  • grounding-first paragraph: removed the leader-sentence-first display under H1 on bench pages. Hypothesis: Perplexity interpreted the "X leads at Y metric" sentence as promotional/partisan content and downgraded citability. Back to displaying just benchmark.subtitle.
  • citation_author: reverted from "Florent Tapponnier" back to "OpenChainBench". Brand recognition signal for AI tools citing the source.

perp-fees alone = 52% of historical citations; the drop hit all 24 cited pages simultaneously on July 26.
