The Core Unit

The atomic unit of expert insight.

A Citable Packet is what we ship instead of a press email. Every field is typed, every claim is sourced, and the whole object is machine-readable — built for a journalist's deadline and a model's training set.

Anatomy / Schema Index6 entries

Six fields. One contract.

Every packet carries the same shape — so a CMS, a research tool, or an answer engine can do something useful with it without parsing prose.

AI engines reward Information Gain over keyword density.

1 source disclosed json-ld
F.01 Required

Quote.

A specific, attributable statement. 300 words max. AI-detection screened.

F.02 Required

Context.

The situation that gives the quote weight — who, when, why this is being said now.

F.03 Required

Evidence.

Deep links, primary sources, datasets, prior reporting. The reasons to believe.

F.04 Required

Disclosure.

Conflicts of interest, advisory roles, financial relationships. Surfaced, never buried.

F.05 Required

Citation Format.

Pre-formatted attribution copy a journalist can paste straight into a CMS.

F.06 Auto-emitted

Schema.

Schema.org JSON-LD emitted on the canonical page so generative engines can lift the fields directly.

Why Structure Wins

Plain text is invisible. Structure is citable.

Traditional PR ships walls of prose into a journalist's inbox. In the Answer Engine era, prose is a parser's dead zone — models don't read words, they resolve entities. The Citable Packet bridges the gap between human expertise and algorithmic indexing across three mechanics.

Spec.AThree mechanics of a Citable Packet
Protocol.01
Information Gain

Reward the novel. Suppress the noise.

Generative crawlers ignore repetition and elevate any sentence that adds an angle the index doesn't already hold. Each packet field is engineered to surface unique signal — the unpublished number, the contrarian angle, the primary source the others missed.

Protocol.02
Chain of Custody

A handshake, not a copy-paste.

The moment a journalist clicks Copy for CMS, the packet emits a signed citation handshake. The published article keeps a permanent, verifiable line back to the expert's Source Passport — quote provenance you can audit, not infer.

Entity Recognition

Read by machines on the first pass.

Every packet ships Schema.org JSON-LD on its canonical URL. Google, Perplexity, and newsroom parsers don't see a name string — they resolve a Verified Entity with role, credentials, Authority Score, and the lineage of disclosures behind the claim.
