A few of these tasks deserve special emphasis. The **Organizations** page is not an optional extra; it is the highest-value differentiator repeatedly identified in 2IA’s internal research. And the **Resources** page is equally important because OSINT- and public-intelligence-oriented audiences consistently want searchable, practical, provenance-aware workflows rather than a site made only of topical essays. fileciteturn0file6 fileciteturn0file17
Official examples reinforce the same point. EFF’s Surveillance Self-Defense is built around basics, tool guides, further learning, and scenarios; FOIA.gov provides a clear “how to make a request” guide and a wizard; Freedom of the Press Foundation combines training, tools, and a tracker database; and Bellingcat surfaces resources and a toolkit alongside investigations. 2IA should adopt the **clarity and modularity** of those structures while remaining explicitly non-operational and lawful. citeturn4search4turn6search3turn6search15turn8view2turn7view5
## Implementation roadmap
The first priority is not volume. It is **navigation clarity and SEO hygiene**. Before a major content push, 2IA should correct its site-name/title inconsistency in search, simplify URLs where needed, define the new primary and secondary navigation, and build the reusable templates and patterns that future content will use. Google’s documentation on site names, title links, breadcrumbs, structured data, sitemaps, URL structure, and site moves provides the technical framework for that cleanup, while WordPress’s block-theme and pattern system provides the most practical implementation path. citeturn0search0turn1view0turn11search0turn11search14turn11search1turn11search4turn11search12turn11search15turn6search0turn6search16turn6search4
The second priority is to turn the new header into pages that actually deserve their slot. That means rewriting **Start Here**, launching **Issues** and **Research** as clearer discovery surfaces, building **Resources** into a practical toolkit/library, and only then fully surfacing **Organizations** after a verified seed set exists. Because 2IA’s privacy posture is one of its strongest distinguishing traits, any newsletter, donation, help, or directory tooling should be reviewed the way the site’s own privacy page demands: purpose, consent, retention, access, deletion, and opt-out should be explicit before launch. citeturn9view0turn3view1
