     fragments as distinct pages, so those entries added no value and
     diluted the signal of the one real, indexable page. -->

  Next step, when the site grows beyond one page:
  add a real <url> entry per new indexable URL (e.g. /methodology,
  /case-study, /ar/), each with its own <lastmod>. Do not add entries
  for in-page anchors — they are navigation aids, not separate pages,
  and sitemaps should only list URLs Google can actually index.
