	// But going to /our-thinking/scenarios/ tries to load an archive page.
	// Can I get it to load the page I have set in WP instead?

The mobile version of your responsive page likely doesn't need jQuery. Use zepto.js instead. Lots of the same functionality without all the cruft.

	<?php

	if (wp_is_mobile()) {
	wp_deregister_script('jquery');
	wp_register_script('zepto-js', JS_PUBLIC_URI . 'vendor/zepto/zepto.min.js', array(), '', false);
	wp_enqueue_script('zepto-js');
	}

Nice little odometer-ish function.

	var current_odometer_top = 0;

	if ($('ul.odometer')) {
	$('ul.odometer').animate({ top:0 }, 500, function() {
	window.setInterval(function() {
	odometer();
	}, 3000);
	});
	$('ul.odometer li:nth-child(1)').addClass('active');
	}
