AI inclusion depends on five structured signal layers: Identity Clarity, Subject Authority, Meaning Architecture, Ecosystem Validation and Signal Consistency. When interpretive variance reduces across these layers, recommendation stability increases. ## What We Improve - •Misclassification across AI systems. - •Omission from vendor and comparison prompts. - •Weak extractable answer blocks. - •Inconsistent ecosystem descriptions. - •Signal drift across legacy pages. ## Observed Platform Weighting Differences No platform publishes an exact ranking formula.
