AI Fact Layer
The AI Fact Layer is a conceptual framework describing the layer of structured, verified data that sits between a company's raw information and the AI systems that consume it. It ensures consistency and accuracy across all AI touchpoints.
Definition
- The AI Fact Layer is a structured data intermediary that standardizes company facts for AI consumption.
- It includes: canonical profiles, verified claims, trusted sources, and RAG-compatible API endpoints.
- Think of it as a company's 'official record' that AI systems reference as the source of truth.
Components
- Canonical Profile: the definitive company description in machine-readable format.
- Verified Claims: individual facts with provenance and trust scores.
- Trusted Zones: authoritative publishing destinations for maximum AI reach.
- RAG API: real-time data endpoint for AI systems requiring fresh information.
