  File: sitemap.xml (root of repo)
  Created: April 5, 2026
  Last Updated: May 28, 2026
  Author: Claude Sonnet 4.6 / Claude Opus 4.7 for Jim @ Shiftwork Solutions LLC

  PURPOSE:
      XML sitemap for shift-work.com. Lists all deployed pages with
      lastmod dates and priority values. Referenced by robots.txt.
      Ensures all pages are discoverable by search engines and AI
      retrieval bots.

  DEPLOYMENT:
      Place in the ROOT of the Shiftwork-Solutions-Website GitHub repo.
      Render serves it at https://shift-work.com/sitemap.xml

  MAINTENANCE:
      Update this file whenever a new page is added or an existing
      page receives a significant content update. Update the <lastmod>
      date to match the deployment date.

  CHANGE LOG:
      2026-04-05 — Initial build. 39 URLs.
      2026-04-06 — Added /about/, /our_team/, /testimonials/,
                   /industries/paper-packaging-operations/. 43 URLs total.
      2026-04-19 — DOMAIN GO-LIVE: site launched at shift-work.com.
      2026-04-27 — Renamed focused article directory: /support/ → /focused/
                   Updated all 7 focused article URLs accordingly.
      2026-04-28 — CORRECTION: Two pillar guide rename entries from the
                   2026-04-19 changelog were never actually executed in
                   the GitHub repo. URLs corrected back to actual folder
                   names. lastmod 2026-04-28 on the two corrected URLs.
      2026-05-28 — CASE STUDIES SECTION ADDED:
                   Added new section between Pillar Guides and Focused
                   Articles. Added 21 URLs total:
                     - 1 landing page: /resources/case-studies/
                       (priority 0.9, monthly changefreq)
                     - 20 individual case studies under
                       /resources/case-studies/{slug}/
                       (priority 0.8, monthly changefreq)
                   All 21 new URLs use lastmod 2026-05-28.
                   The landing page and all 20 individual pages are
                   confirmed live in GitHub. URLs match the landing
                   page tile grid and the CollectionPage schema hasPart
                   array exactly. Total URL count is now 65
                   (was 44 before this update).
                   No existing URLs altered — additive change only.

  URL COUNT (as of 2026-05-28):
      Homepage:                 1
      Top-level pages:          8
      Pillar guides:           10
      Case studies:            21 (1 landing + 20 individual)
