AI citations and AI referrals serve different purposes; a page can excel at one while failing the other. Prioritize content types that score high on proprietary data, verified facts, decision support, or action completion. Evidence confidence: hypothesis, not yet confirmed.
Rule aeo-e3cc03e8efed11e1 · authority_offsite · hypothesis, not yet confirmed

Applies to: blog, product, landing, all
Hypothesis: the reasoning is published, but no independent evidence confirms it yet. Test it on your own pages before you rely on it.
