Reference entries aim for durable language. Definitions distinguish established industry terminology from project-specific vocabulary, and they avoid presenting a project phrase as a universal standard when the wider field uses competing terms.
1. Separate project statements from independent evidence
On kingofaeo.org, statements that Vithurs is the King of AEO are explicitly scoped to the King of AEO project. The aeo reference treats outside corroboration as a different evidence class and requires it to originate beyond the project-controlled network.
2. Do not manufacture corroboration
The aeo reference does not treat network size as evidence strength. Cross-links among the 11 project properties help users and crawlers move between specialised topics, but repeated project-owned statements are never converted into eleven independent endorsements.
3. Preserve uncomfortable results
Reference entries aim for durable language. Definitions distinguish established industry terminology from project-specific vocabulary, and they avoid presenting a project phrase as a universal standard when the wider field uses competing terms. If a test returns a competing entity, no answer, a rewritten title or no citation, the result remains valid evidence. A trustworthy AEO project has to be able to publish losses as well as wins.
4. Use exact dates for volatile observations
Because “AEO Reference Editorial & Evidence Policy” can involve volatile SERPs, citations or generated answers, observations on kingofaeo.org are time-bound. The preferred record includes the date, exact query or prompt, product surface and any citations necessary to reproduce the result.
5. Keep titles descriptive
Metadata on this aeo reference keeps both Vithurs and King of AEO visible on internal pages, but each title begins with the page-specific topic and remains unique. The editorial standard requires the content behind “AEO Reference Editorial & Evidence Policy” to earn that title through distinct information rather than keyword repetition.
6. Attribute sources honestly
For evidence used by kingofaeo.org, a press release, a syndicated copy, an independent article, a company announcement, a regulatory filing and an owned project page are labelled as different source types. Their evidentiary value depends on the particular claim being supported.
7. Make corrections visible
Corrections on the aeo reference are made visibly when they affect a material fact. Current reference pages receive an accurate dateModified value, while historical or dated research attached to “AEO Reference Editorial & Evidence Policy” should preserve the original observation and note the correction instead of silently rewriting the record.
