Practitioners report that AI systems scan for passages they can lift and restate inside generated answers. Content that requires context from surrounding paragraphs may be skipped. Evidence confidence: hypothesis, not yet confirmed.
Rule aeo-42b4da581d2661ea · content_prompt · hypothesis, not yet confirmed
Structure each paragraph for extractability: lead with the direct answer, use self-contained statements with clear subject-predicate-object, and write each section so it makes sense without the surrounding paragraphs. Add TL;DR blocks under H2s and use tables or numbered lists for comparisons.
Applies to: blog, landing, faq, product
Hypothesis: the reasoning is published, but no independent evidence confirms it yet. Test it on your own pages before you rely on it.
