Unify terminology and formatting in a long piece

Run a consistency pass on this text.

Check and report:
1. Terminology — the same thing named differently. Group the variants, count each, recommend one, and say why.
2. Formatting — numbers, dates, units, currency, percentages.
3. Headings — capitalization, phrasing pattern, parallel structure.
4. Lists — punctuation, capitalization, parallel grammar.
5. Abbreviations — defined on first use, used consistently after.
6. Voice and tense drift between sections, which is the clearest sign of writing across sessions.
7. References to the document itself ("as discussed above") that no longer point anywhere.

Output a change table: what / current variants with counts / recommendation / occurrences.

Rules:
- *Do not change meaning while unifying.* If two terms look like variants but refer to different things, flag rather than merge — this is the one way a consistency pass does damage.
- Follow my stated preference where I gave one; otherwise pick the majority usage and say so.
- Do not rewrite sentences. This is a consistency pass only.
