The 3 ranked alternates
| Alt rank | Domain | Practitioner | Positioning | Modality bucket | Score | Why it's the next substitute |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | theembodimentcoach.com | Hind Taychouri | Somatic life/leadership coach, trauma & polyvagal-informed, registered yoga teacher | Breathwork / embodiment | 5/9 | Bucket already holds 2 (breathewithjp.com, jaclynexplains.com); this is the next-highest scorer and would slot in cleanly if either fails scraping in Phase 3 |
| 2 | roseannacroft.com | Roseanna Croft | Spiritual & Jungian life coach — private coaching, Kundalini Activation program | Spiritual awakening / consciousness | 4/9 | Bucket already holds 3 (cap reached); substitutes for any of maineshaman.com / integralawakenings.com / holisticspiritualcounseling.com |
| 3 | triplemoonpsychotherapy.com | Solo Bay Area IFS/EMDR/Brainspotting therapist — practice uses "My Story"/first-person voice sitewide but does not publish a name on homepage, /about, or /my-story (checked) |
Certified IFS, EMDR, Brainspotting therapist specializing in childhood trauma and complex PTSD | IFS / parts work | 4/9 | Bucket already holds 3 (cap reached); substitutes for any of the three IFS selections |
Modality-bucket distribution (diversity constraint check)
| Bucket | Selected count | Domains |
|---|---|---|
| IFS / parts work | 3 | triplemoonpsychotherapy.com (substituted for innerworkcoach.com), onlinetraumatherapy.co.uk, therapywithalessio.com |
Substitution — innerworkcoach.com → triplemoonpsychotherapy.com
innerworkcoach.com was selected at rank 3 but proved completely unscrapeable, and was
replaced on 2026‑08‑04. The full escalation ladder was run and logged in
raw/model_sites/innerworkcoach.com/scrape_log.json:
| Rung | Route | Result |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | DataForSEO OnPage (crawls from its own infrastructure) | HTTP 403 — 0 pages crawled |
| 3 | Local machine IP | HTTP 403 Forbidden |
| 2 | VM exit IP, 34.187.239.236 | HTTP 202 — a SiteGround CAPTCHA interstitial at /.well-known/sgcaptcha/, not content |
Every legitimate route was exhausted. The site serves an active CAPTCHA bot challenge, which was not circumvented — solving bot challenges is out of scope regardless of how much the data would be worth. The domain is named here rather than quietly dropped, and its few keyword rows are excluded from the national corpus so that "the fifteen model sites" remains literally true.
triplemoonpsychotherapy.com was promoted from alternate #3 rather than alternate #1
(theembodimentcoach.com, 5/9) specifically to preserve the modality-bucket distribution —
the displaced site was an IFS/parts-work pick, and taking the higher-scoring breathwork alternate
would have left IFS at 2 and pushed breathwork to 3. The substitute collected cleanly: 99 pages,
onpage_score 93.87, and a ranked-keyword profile that hit the 1,000-row cap.
| Somatic / nervous-system | 3 | jessicamaguire.com, mariagray.net, kimkimballcoaching.com |
| Spiritual awakening / consciousness | 3 | maineshaman.com, integralawakenings.com, holisticspiritualcounseling.com |
| Trauma-informed coaching | 2 | emmymarie.com, brandifleckcoaching.com |
| Breathwork / embodiment | 2 | breathewithjp.com, jaclynexplains.com |
| Contemplative / meditation | 2 | tarabrach.com, mo-maitri-therapy.com |
| Total | 15 | — |
Every bucket is at or under the 3-per-bucket cap; no bucket exceeds it. The 3 alternates are distributed across breathwork/embodiment (1), spiritual awakening (1), and IFS/parts work (1) — each a like-for-like substitute inside a bucket already at cap, so a substitution never breaks the diversity constraint.
Open items / blocked candidates from verification
- michaelswerdloff.com — HTTP 403 on two fetch attempts (contemplative psychotherapy query,
best rank 14). Not selected, not silently dropped — recorded here and in
model_candidates.md. - thenordicwave.com — HTTP 429 (rate-limited) on two fetch attempts (online breathwork course
query, best rank 6). Not selected, not silently dropped — recorded here and in
model_candidates.md. - Practitioner names — follow-up fetch results. A second, targeted round of
/about-page fetches (one request per candidate, short timeout) resolvedbreathewithjp.com: "JP" is Jon Paul Crimi, confirmed on his/about/page. Three sites turned out to be genuinely first-name-only by design, not under-researched:innerworkcoach.com("Evan" — checked/about, no surname published anywhere on the site),therapywithalessio.com("Alessio" — checked homepage and/about(404), no surname published), and alternate #3triplemoonpsychotherapy.com(checked homepage,/about, and/my-story— no name published at all, first-person "My Story" voice throughout).integralawakenings.comsimilarly publishes no name on its homepage or/aboutpage — first-person "My Story" branding without a stated name. In every one of these cases the site is still independently confirmed practitioner-led (solo first-person voice, "About Me"/"My Story" structure, direct booking/contact to one person) — the missing surname is a branding choice on the practitioner's part, not a gap in this research. Phase 3's fuller crawl (contact pages, footer copyright lines, schema markup) may surface a legal name; it is not required for the selection above to stand.
Status of this document
Final. The 15 + 3 selection is fully verified. One practitioner surname (Jon Paul Crimi) was
resolved on follow-up; four sites (innerworkcoach.com, therapywithalessio.com,
integralawakenings.com, triplemoonpsychotherapy.com) confirmed as genuinely first-name-only or
unnamed by the practitioner's own design, not as a research gap — each remains independently
verified as practitioner-led by its first-person site structure. Two non-selected candidates
remain BLOCKED after two fetch attempts each (michaelswerdloff.com HTTP 403,
thenordicwave.com HTTP 429); neither required a substitution since neither was on the
selection path.
