Review rules:
- Do not blindly publish raw OSM objects as business/listing cards.
- Check name, location, access/opening notes and whether the feature still exists.
- Keep ODbL/OpenStreetMap attribution if OSM data is used.
- Prefer official council/NHS/FSA/NaPTAN/etc. sources where they exist; use OSM mainly for gap-finding and enrichment.
