/**
 * Brand sustainability tiers — hand-curated.
 *
 * Tier 1 — fast-fashion / known labor-rights or env issues
 * Tier 2 — mass-market mainstream, no published sustainability program
 * Tier 3 — published sustainability program, mixed materials, mainstream pricing
 * Tier 4 — leader in materials / supply-chain transparency, certified programs
 * Tier 5 — gold standard (B-Corp / fully circular / 100% recycled-or-organic + transparent)
 *
 * Sources used to set tiers (synthesized): Good On You, Remake, Common Objective,
 * brand-published sustainability reports.
 *
 * Note — tiers are advisory + change over time. Treat the list as a v1 baseline
 * that needs editorial review every quarter.
