- Rewrite "What is DataCheck?" to focus on pipeline gates and CI/CD
- Add "What DataCheck is NOT" section (not observability/anomaly detection)
- Add "Where DataCheck Fits" section explaining data validation category
- Add "How DataCheck Compares" table (vs Great Expectations, Soda, dbt)
- Update pyproject.toml description and keywords
- Document all changes in POSITIONING_UPDATES.md

This is a positioning-only update to accurately reflect what DataCheck
is today: a simple, fast validation tool for data engineers, not an
enterprise observability platform.
Comprehensive 7-phase verification completed:
- Phase 1: Environment & dependencies (PASS)
- Phase 2: Full test suite - 629/629 tests passing (PASS)
- Phase 3: Code coverage - 80.85% above 70% threshold (PASS)
- Phase 4: Examples validation (PASS)
- Phase 5: Static & dead code analysis (PASS)
- Phase 6: Release safety checks (PASS)
- Phase 7: Final verdict (CONDITIONAL APPROVAL)

Release blocker identified: Version number needs update to 1.1.0
