+# Payload field-to-consumer inventory
+
+This inventory records the frontend or platform owner for every retained `Pages` field group and relevant Global. Nested scalar, upload, relationship, and array fields belong to the consumer named for their parent group unless an exception is listed.
+
+## Shared `Pages` fields
+
+| Field path | Consumer or contract |
+| --- | --- |
+| `title`, `slug`, `spaPath`, `publishedAt`, `_status` | Route lookup, preview URLs, publication access, sitemap generation, and generic-page headings in `src/app/(frontend)/[[...slug]]/page.tsx`, the sitemap routes, and `src/spa/pages/CmsGenericPage.tsx`. |
+| `hero`, `layout` | Non-SPA pages through `src/heros/RenderHero.tsx`, `src/blocks/RenderBlocks.tsx`, and `src/spa/pages/CmsGenericPage.tsx`. |
+| `meta.*` | `@payloadcms/plugin-seo`, route metadata generation, and generic-page title fallback. |
+
+## Page-specific fields
+
+| Page field path | Retained consumer |
+| --- | --- |
+| `home.hero.*` | `src/spa/pages/Home.tsx`; partner relationship records remain authoritative and the names array is presentation fallback only. |
+| `home.winners.*` | `src/spa/components/HomeWinnersSection.tsx` and `src/spa/homeWinnerSelection.ts`; also reused by `/der-bmp`. |
+| `home.quickCheck.*`, `home.intro.*`, `home.benefits.*` | `src/spa/pages/Home.tsx`. |
+| `home.testimonials.*` | `src/spa/pages/Home.tsx` through `src/spa/components/TestimonialsSection.tsx`. |
+| `home.videoModal.*` | Homepage video action and modal in `src/spa/pages/Home.tsx`. |
+| `participation.hero.*`, `participation.eligibility.*`, `participation.applicationWays.*`, `participation.datesBanner.*` | `src/spa/pages/Participation.tsx`. |
+| `participation.process.*` | `src/spa/pages/Participation.tsx` through `src/spa/components/WegZurAuszeichnungSection.tsx`. |
+| `participation.awardsGrid.*` | `src/spa/pages/Participation.tsx` through `src/spa/components/AwardsGridSection.tsx`. |
+| `about.hero.*`, `about.prize.*`, `about.mittelstand.*`, `about.history.*`, `about.goals.*`, `about.values.*`, `about.cta.*` | `src/spa/pages/About.tsx`. |
+| `about.testimonials.*` | `src/spa/pages/About.tsx` through `src/spa/components/TestimonialsSection.tsx`. |
+| `contact.*` | `src/spa/pages/Contact.tsx` and `src/spa/components/forms/KontaktForm.tsx`. |
+| `datenschutz.*`, `impressum.*` | `src/spa/components/legal/LegalPage.tsx` via the respective route component. |
+| `formUpload.*` | `src/spa/pages/FormularUpload.tsx`. |
+| `mitgliedWerden.*` | `src/spa/pages/MitgliedWerden.tsx` and `src/spa/components/membership/MembershipWizard.tsx`. |
+| `preistraegerIndex.*` | `src/spa/pages/Preistraeger.tsx`; winner records remain collection-owned. |
+| `pressIndex.hero.*`, `pressIndex.events.*`, `pressIndex.news.*`, `pressIndex.downloads.*` | `src/spa/pages/Press.tsx`; event/article records remain collection-owned, while missing-field labels and images are presentation fallbacks only. |
+| `netzwerk.hero.*`, `netzwerk.patronage.*`, `netzwerk.juryIntro.*`, `netzwerk.expertise.*`, `netzwerk.sponsoring.*` | `src/spa/pages/Netzwerk.tsx`. |
+| `netzwerk.jury.{eyebrow,heading,description,chairBadge,members}` | Jury heading and authoritative rendered relationship selection in `src/spa/pages/Netzwerk.tsx`. |
+| `netzwerk.partners.{eyebrow,heading,description,detailLabel,tiers,modal}` | Partner section, tier labels, and modal copy in `src/spa/pages/Netzwerk.tsx`; partner records remain collection-owned. |
+| `netzwerk.sponsoringForm.*` | The two visible form steps, validation, success state, and footer copy in `src/spa/components/forms/SponsoringForm.tsx`. |
+
+## Global ownership
+
+| Global | Consumer or contract |
+| --- | --- |
+| `application-form` | Single source for the application section and form on both `/` and `/teilnahme`, hydrated by the frontend route and consumed by `ApplicationFormSection` / `BewerbungsForm`. |
+| `application-phase` | Shared phase state and phase-specific site copy used by Home, shared layout CTAs, the application/newsletter form switch, and sponsoring submissions. |
+| `newsletter-form` | Evaluation/completed newsletter variants shared by `/` and `/teilnahme`. |
+| `header`, `footer` | Site-wide navigation, branding, links, social entries, and footer partner marks rendered by `src/spa/components/layout/Layout.tsx`. |
+| `site-settings` | Shared skyline, Preisträger placeholder, and generic-page fallback copy. |
+
+## Task 4 removals
+
+The audit found no frontend, metadata, SEO, seed-only contract, or explicit Global purpose for these fields: `home.application`, `home.form`, `participation.applicationForm`, `participation.form`, the hidden participation CTA controls (`eligibility.secondaryCta`, `eligibility.nudgeCta`, `applicationWays.recommendedLabel`, `applicationWays.fallbackCta`, `applicationWays.ways[].featured`, and `applicationWays.ways[].cta`), `about.highlights`, the five `pressIndex.downloads.kit*` controls, `pressIndex.accreditation`, the old event/news CTA labels, `netzwerk.jury.note`, `netzwerk.partners.premiumLabel`, `netzwerk.partners.defaultLogoColor`, the four non-rendered `netzwerk.sponsoring` footnote/form-eyebrow controls, and the obsolete sponsoring package step (`packages`, `step1Eyebrow`, `step1Heading`, `requiredPackageError`). They are intentionally absent from the retained inventory.
