that the sector would reach between $480 billion and $530 billion in value by 2026
+that the sector would reach approximately $480 billion in value by 2027

Why this is better

Body text already correctly said 'approximately $480 billion in value by 2027' (Goldman Sachs 2024 report). However, the FAQ JSON-LD field still had the stale unverified range ('$480 billion and $530 billion in 2026') in the 'How large is the creator economy in 2026?' answer. Corrected the FAQ answer to match the body text's real Goldman Sachs figure, re-encoded via the same base64/json/base64/json op-sequence, PUT to the live post, and verified via re-fetch that the fix landed cleanly with no other fields affected.
