Content Quality Audit (Current Snapshot)

This quick audit highlights practical gaps that reduce site usefulness and what to improve next.

Weak points found

• Contemporary coverage gap: core map ended near early analytic traditions, leaving late-20th and 21st-century debates underrepresented.
• Donation/support gap: no clear way for readers to fund maintenance or new content work.
• Pricing maintenance risk: AU price tables age quickly, which can reduce trust if values drift without regular refresh.
• Learning progression gap: beginners had strong classical routes but fewer clear modern pathways by topic (justice, identity, power, capability).

Improvements landed in this pass

• Added contemporary philosopher profiles in docs/authors.md.
• Added modern/contemporary starter shelf and catalog entries in docs/books.md.
• Added review stubs for modern texts in docs/reviews/core-book-reviews.md.
• Added project funding page in docs/support-the-project.md.

Suggested next improvements

• Add one themed path per month (for example: justice, gender, postcolonial, technology ethics).
• Add a lightweight monthly pricing refresh log entry with date and source.
• Add a "new this month" box on docs/index.md to surface fresh additions.
