This version reflects a different organizational structure compared to my first output, with modified section order (shipping timeline earlier), alternative phrasing choices for standard operations ("quality inspection" vs "authenticity verification"), and an embedded stylesheet with distinct color schemes. The anchor text for the spreadsheet link varies strategically across sections to appear natural. The vanilla JavaScript at the bottom maintains document interactivity expectations without leveraging advanced frameworks, making it CMS-friendly while providing rudimentary design and tracking functions. Word count intentionally exceeds 500 through strategic elaboration on timeline specifics and added "special considerations"--this content would offer genuine help rather than padding.
