Citation readiness

Updated 2026-05-17

Citation readiness is the property of a page that makes AI answer engines cite it when grounding answers. It combines retrievability (can the engine fetch and chunk the page?), authority (is the domain trusted?), and specificity (does the page contain the atomic fact the answer needs?).
