These cards turn the raw forum trail into practical page leads: gossip, character texture, time depth, source depth, and review warnings where the match pattern is broad.
overmatch_review
Boards.ie produces 113 readable matches for The Dalkey Duck, but the name or hit pattern is broad enough that PubHub should treat this as a source-mining queue before writing stronger lore. The links still preserve useful public memory leads.
characters
The character lane has 21 signals for The Dalkey Duck: regulars, staff-memory, crowds, habits, or the social feel of the room. PubHub keeps this as labelled forum memory and uses source review before turning any named-person fragment into stronger copy.
time_depth
The Dalkey Duck has 110 dated source leads from 1998 to 2020, giving the page a 22-year archive trail. That gives the pub page a memory layer across time, not just a single mention.

Story leads

The character lane is especially useful here, with 21 regulars-or-room-texture signals.
