## Summary
AI answer engines cite trustworthy sources. Short-term manipulation gets detected and devalued; transparency builds long-term citation safety.

## Answer summary
AUTHON's GEO operations assume content is disclosed 100% identically to humans and AI (no cloaking). It uses no forced-indexing pushes or rank-manipulation loops, relies only on legitimate discovery (sitemaps, IndexNow), and marks auto-generated claims as unverified to preserve trust.

## Key claims

## FAQ
- Q: Doesn't cloaking help GEO?
  A: No. Divergent exposure erodes trust and is devalued when detected; AUTHON does not use it.
- Q: Why not use forced indexing?
  A: Legitimate discovery is sufficient, and forced pushes can read as spam signals.
- Q: Can auto-generated metadata be trusted?
  A: Auto-generated claims are labeled unverified, distinguishing them from verified claims.
- Q: Isn't transparency a disadvantage?
  A: It is conservative short-term, but AI citation favors trustworthy sources, so it pays off long-term.
- Q: Where are these principles stated?
  A: In AUTHON's operating guidelines, the /about page, and this repository's documents.
