Content shows originality
Why it matters
AI models trace citations back to the origin of a claim, not the hundredth site to repeat it. Original benchmarks, case studies, methodology docs, and proprietary datasets mark your site as a source rather than a downstream aggregator, which measurably increases how often generative engines attribute facts to you rather than to a competitor who republished similar content.
Severity rationale
Low because originality signals compound reputation slowly but are not required for baseline citation.
Remediation
Publish at least one piece of original content — a benchmark table with real numbers, a case study with specific outcomes, a methodology document, or a unique dataset — as a public page. Originality must be observable in the rendered content, not just implied. Add files under src/app/research/page.tsx or MDX under src/content/.
src/app/research/benchmarks/page.tsx
src/content/case-studies/acme.mdx
