The profile-level structured-data pattern should pair a `ProfilePage` with a nested `Organization`. The example below uses Bellingcat, but the same structure should be reused for all seed entries, changing only the organization-specific fields and verified `sameAs[]` links. For controversial or historical profiles, keep the same shape but use more cautious descriptions and omit unverified social handles.

The directory index should use an `ItemList` that points to the internal 2IA profile URLs. That lets search systems understand the page as a directory and also decouples 2IA’s canonical pages from the organizations’ external homepages.
