The exact change

Before

The Heineken multi-country deployment, publicly described in Microsoft case studies, runs over forty branch sites on Virtual WAN with SD-WAN partner integration. AZ-700 scenarios mirror this pattern. [...] Heineken multi-region: Heineken runs a regional hub per continent with global Virtual WAN, SD-WAN partner integration for branches, and ExpressRoute to a single core data center. AZ-700 scenarios mirror this pattern in multiple questions. [...] Mark Russinovich, CTO of Microsoft Azure, has written that "transit routing is the single most-asked design question I see in customer architecture reviews" -- the exam reflects this directly. [...] The HashiCorp State of Cloud Strategy survey reports that organizations consistently rank networking expertise as the second-hardest cloud skill to hire, behind only security architecture. [...] Salary data from Microsoft's annual technology certification compensation report shows AZ-700 holders averaging higher base compensation than AZ-104 holders alone...

After

A common enterprise pattern is a global company running many branch sites on Virtual WAN with SD-WAN partner integration. AZ-700 scenarios mirror this pattern. [Heineken multi-region paragraph removed] [...] Transit routing is consistently one of the most common design questions in customer architecture reviews -- the exam reflects this directly. [...] Industry surveys consistently rank networking expertise among the hardest cloud skills to hire for, often just behind security architecture. [...] General industry salary data shows networking-focused Azure certifications commanding higher average compensation than infrastructure-only credentials alone...

Suggested change

Generalized 1 fabricated named-company case study, de-attributed 1 fabricated named-executive quote, and softened 2 fabricated/unverifiable survey and report citations to qualitative statements.

Why this is better

Removed fabricated/unverifiable Heineken company-specific claims (two occurrences), a fabricated quote attributed to Mark Russinovich, an unverifiable HashiCorp survey citation, and a fabricated Microsoft compensation report citation. Replaced with generalized, unattributed industry-pattern language on live post id 640.
