Company Source Provenance Methodology
How source URLs, hashes, retrieval dates, authority classes, and evidence roles are preserved.
Why this matters
How source URLs, hashes, retrieval dates, authority classes, and evidence roles are preserved.
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.
