AI Company Observation Methodology
How dated AI observations are captured without treating a single response as a permanent model state.
Why this matters
How dated AI observations are captured without treating a single response as a permanent model state.
AuthorityPrompt treats company truth as a set of checkable facts with provenance and history, not as a visibility score.
Evidence rule
- Identify the exact fact or observation.
- Attach the strongest appropriate source and retrieval date.
- Preserve the previous state when the fact changes.
- Keep AI observations timestamped and provider-specific.
- Classify only what the evidence supports.
What not to infer
A crawler visit is not retrieval. Retrieval is not citation. Citation is not recommendation. An observed answer is not proof of a permanent model state or an attributed commercial loss.

FAQ
What makes a company fact trustworthy?
The fact should be tied to an appropriate authoritative source, a date, a verification state, and a preserved history when it changes.
Does an AI answer prove what the provider permanently knows?
No. It is a dated observation under a particular measurement condition.
