TL;DR

• Nothing broke. Every project's avg rank is flat-to-up (AT 4.9, UK 3.9, DE 5.6, AU 6.1, IT 8.8, BR 9.8). Day-over-day churn was low (60 out / 78 in) vs the ~45–76/55–85 baseline — the long "→OUT" mover list is 7d-baseline framing, not a fresh event.
• DE München micro-wobble: huren münchen (27,100 vol) and nutten in münchen both fell 5→OUT off /huren/muenchen/, but three sibling terms on the same page held 6–10 and the page is HTTP 200 / canonical-clean. Query-level jitter, not a page failure. 1-day watch.
• BR growth is real and compounding: 82→88 ranked keywords today, avg 9.85→9.78. Six net new top-100 entries. Prime internal-link window.
• IT verona bounced exactly as predicted — escort a verona back at 13 after two days out; escort verona at 15. That case can close.
• Two carryover fixes still unshipped: vera-ragazza10 (IT) and stussy-babe41 (AU) 404s; and the AT Graz cannibalization fix (day 5). All previously recommended — none is a new fire.

What moved and why

DE — two München heads dropped out; the page did not (likely: SERP jitter). huren münchen sat at 4–6 all week (5 on 07-15) and nutten in münchen at 4–8 (4 on 07-15); both went OUT today. Tempting to read as a /huren/muenchen/ page problem — but the same page still ranks hure münchen 8→9, huren in münchen 4→6, nutten münchen 9→10. A technical fault would take all terms down together. The page returns 200 with a clean self-canonical and empty robots on both 07-16 and 07-17 snapshots. Verdict: transient query-level volatility on two terms, page visibility intact. Confidence: likely. Worth one day's watch only because two stable heads moving together is slightly more than coin-flip noise.

BR — the growth curve keeps climbing (confirmed). 79→82→82→88 ranked over four days, avg improving to 9.78. New neighbourhood/bairro pages continue entering top-100. Healthy, and still the best place to spend internal-link equity while Google is receptive.

IT — verona recovered; set is stable (confirmed). Ranked count 166, dead-flat within its 158–167 band. escort a verona returned at 13 (was out 07-14/15), escort verona at 15 — the predicted thin-set bounce. No technical issue; the page was verified live earlier in the week.

Investigations

• Is the big OUT list an event? No. Computed true day-over-day churn: 60 fell out / 78 came in across six markets — below the established daily baseline. Most briefing "→OUT" rows are keywords already gone days ago (e.g. erotikum, a flappy single-keyword homepage term, out since 07-14; sex in der nähe homepage flap). Ruled out a site-wide or algo event.
• München page health — checked snapshots (200, canonical OK) and the full München cluster; only 2 of 15 terms moved out. Dead end for a technical story.
• IT competitor "swing" — bakecaincontrii.com 4.8→3.3 on 319 kws is again the denominator artifact: it ranks on just 6 keywords both dates; small positional wiggle, no real share shift. Ruled out. (Same shape as the 07-11 quoka and 07-14 bakeca cases.)

Opportunities

• BR internal links (standing, still open): deep bench of SP + Rio bairro pages at rank 4–6 with fresh top-100 entrants — the compounding curve says linking now converts. Highest-ROI move on the board.
• DE /hobbyhuren/ consolidation working: several hobbyhuren in <city> terms have swapped from /huren/<city>/ onto the dedicated /hobbyhuren/<city>/ page (augsburg 7→4, gelsenkirchen, hamm, magdeburg all holding top-4). The intent-specific page is winning these — worth confirming the pattern and extending anchors to any hobbyhuren term still stuck on the generic /huren/ page.

Recommendations

1. Ship the two 404 → 301 redirects (vera-ragazza10 IT, stussy-babe41 AU). stussy-babe41 has now been deindexed 3 days after a week at rank ~10; the redirect is free insurance and recovers nothing if left. Cheap, overdue.
2. Ship the AT Graz fix (day 5): trim /at/sex/lend-graz/'s Graz-wide copy / soften the /at/sex/graz/ → lend-graz anchor so the 150-listing Graz head page reclaims sex graz (still stuck on the thin child at rank 10). Contained to one term, but it's been recommended four days running.
3. No action on München — watch one day; act only if a third München head drops or the page's HTTP status changes.

Watchlist

• AT "sex graz" cannibalization — day 5 on /at/sex/lend-graz/ (12→10→13→11→10), fix STILL unshipped. Reiterated. Reassess after fix or self-revert.
• 404s pending fix — vera-ragazza10 (IT) 404 confirmed 07-16/17 (only badPage in briefing); stussy-babe41 (AU) OUT day 3, deindex confirmed. 301s re-recommended.
• DE München heads — NEW light watch (opened 2026-07-16): huren münchen + nutten in münchen 5→OUT while /huren/muenchen/ stays 200 and siblings hold 6–10. Likely jitter. Close if either returns tomorrow; escalate only if a third München head drops.
• BR growth curve — 88 ranked, still compounding. Internal-link target. Flag only on a two-week reversal.
• IT thinness / verona — CLOSING: verona bounced to 13 as predicted, ranked count stable at 166. No open thread left; reopen only if IT ranked falls below ~158 and stays 3+ days.
• AT Wien huren page-split — note-only; unchanged. City-qualified huren terms still weak on the national /at/huren/ page vs the Wien page. Low priority.
• Briefing competitor-avg denominator artifact — recurred (IT bakeca, 6 kws). Continue sanity-checking n before treating any competitor avg jump as real.
• Cross-market URL bleed / hreflang — still no hreflang site-wide; not re-quantified today.
• UK city-head slide — remains CLOSED (unconfirmed-update churn). No recurrence.
• Daily churn baseline — reaffirmed today: 60 out / 78 in, below baseline. Use before reading any long OUT list as an event.
