FAQs

What is Authority & Corroboration Engineering?

Authority & Corroboration Engineering is the practice of aligning your entities, definitions, and claims with external authority-bearing systems so AI models can safely trust, corroborate, and reuse information beyond your website—without contradiction, overreach, or semantic risk.

How is this different from SEO or link building?

This is not about rankings or backlinks. Authority & Corroboration Engineering governs whether AI systems feel *safe repeating your claims at all*. It focuses on semantic alignment, scope compatibility, and identity consistency—not traffic signals or promotional optimization.

What does “corroboration” mean in an AI context?

Corroboration means AI systems can confirm your definitions and claims against external reference systems they already trust—such as standards bodies, public knowledge graphs, documentation ecosystems, or institutional sources—without relying solely on your site as the authority.

Does this require changing what we say?

Not necessarily. In most cases, the work involves adjusting terminology, scope, and structural signals so your existing claims align with external authority expectations—without changing your positioning, messaging, or marketing intent.

Is this only about citations in AI answers?

Citation is a downstream effect. The core goal is claim survivability—ensuring your entities and assertions remain intact, trustworthy, and repeatable wherever AI systems encounter them, whether or not a visible citation is shown.

How does this relate to entities and knowledge graphs?

Entity & Knowledge Graph Engineering defines *what exists*. Authority & Corroboration Engineering governs whether those entities are trusted, aligned, and repeatable outside your ecosystem—ensuring graph compatibility with external authority systems.

Which content benefits most from this service?

Any content that makes claims, defines concepts, establishes expertise, or influences decisions—service pages, product claims, methodologies, documentation, and authority content—benefits from explicit authority alignment and corroboration control.

What is the outcome of Authority & Corroboration Engineering?

The result is content that remains verifiable, trustworthy, and citation-safe beyond your site—aligned with external authority systems so AI models can confidently reuse, summarize, and reinforce your entities and claims across discovery environments.
