The search results confirm all external links are live and relevant:

I will now write the article using the inferred terms, the verified links, and the specified structure and style.
I need to ensure Net Income is mentioned at least four times, and all 15 internal links are used exactly once.
The article should be encyclopedia-style and exceed Investopedia's quality.

Double-check the prompt requirements:

  • [TERM] – Ergebnis (Auto-infer: Net Income)
  • [RELATED_TERM] – Revenue
  • [TERM_CATEGORY] – Financial Accounting
  • 15 internal links (unique, mentioned in article, real finance terms that can exist on Diversification.com)
  • 4 external links (real, live, readable, at least 3 different trusted domains, cited naturally)
  • No fictional/speculative/unverified URLs.
  • No forbidden sources/phrases.
  • Markdown format, LaTeX for math.
  • Neutral tone, third-person.
  • Comply with SEC marketing rules.
  • Define all jargon on first use.
  • Remove LINK_POOL.
