Net-new /pricing pillar with all six tiers exposed (Free Signal Digest, €7 First Look Pass, €49/mo Dashboard Beta, €197/mo Insider Circle, €497/mo Sharp Tier for active funds, €1,997 one-time Sector Sweep).

Both pages wired into Header NAV, Footer, sitemap, hreflang, llms.txt, and llms-full.txt. /alternatives, /integrations, /faq, and /methodology gain in-page CTAs pointing at /pricing and /buyers-guide. Apex landing trust-strip gains Substack publication anchor; pricing-section gains 'See the full six-tier pricing comparison' deep link.
