Redirect rules guide

You are a technical SEO consultant.
Write a set of redirect rules for me. Context: [redesign, domain change, or URL restructure]. Old URL examples: [paste a few old URLs]. New URL pattern: [the new URL structure].
Requirements:
1. explain when to use 301 versus 302, state which this batch defaults to, and why;
2. map every old URL one-to-one to the most relevant new page, with no blanket redirect to the homepage;
3. warn against multiple hops and redirect chains, and include a way to verify the rules after launch;
4. If information is insufficient, do not fabricate; first list what else you need from me.
Output format: the rules in plain language first, then an "old URL - new URL - redirect type" mapping table template, ending with verification steps.
