What citation readiness is
Citation readiness is how ready content is to be safely cited by AI answer engines.
What it checks
- Crawlability (humans = AI, identical disclosure)
- Answer-unit separation (definition, key claims, FAQ)
- Per-claim evidence (source/confidence/last_verified)
- Entity identification (e.g., sameAs)
- Machine-readable surfaces (llm.md, answer.json, facts.json, schema.jsonld)
AUTHON combines these into an A–F grade and points to the weak axes to reinforce.
