# SERP ownership map

This file exposes the current canonical routing principle for the site corpus.

**Principle:** One query family should have one primary URL. The SERP owner may differ from the canonical definition when observed intent requires a broader doctrine or explainer.

**Semantic authority rule:** a distinct SERP owner does not replace the canonical definition as the governing source for the term’s meaning.

SERP ownership routes describe preferred canonical routing. They do not guarantee ranking, indexing, citation, answer inclusion, recommendation or model adoption.

## Routing rules

- definition intent -> definitions
- audit or advisory intent -> expertise
- broad cluster intent -> hubs
- lexical discovery -> glossary/lexique
- editorial archives -> supporting corpus

## Priority clusters revised on 2026-08-09

- **AI citability:** the definition owns the exact concept; citation-readiness, comparison, editorial, and audit pages support it.
- **AI answer auditability:** the doctrine page owns the observed query intent; the canonical definition continues to govern the term’s meaning.
- **Authority conflict:** the arbitration article owns the observed query intent; the canonical definition governs meaning and the framework owns the operational method.
- **AI citation tracking:** the definition owns the observed process; tracking-audit definitions, expertise pages, and measurement articles support it.

Canonical definitions retained behind the two distinct SERP owners:

- https://gautierdorval.com/en/definitions/interpretive-auditability/
- https://gautierdorval.com/definitions/auditabilite-interpretative/
- https://gautierdorval.com/en/definitions/authority-conflict/
- https://gautierdorval.com/definitions/conflit-autorite/

The exact bilingual support URLs for these clusters are declared in [`/serp-ownership.json`](https://gautierdorval.com/serp-ownership.json).

## Cannibalization risks

### AI visibility / LLM visibility / AI visibility audit
Definitions explain terms; expertise pages capture audit intent; hubs route broad comparison intent.
- https://gautierdorval.com/en/definitions/llm-visibility/
- https://gautierdorval.com/en/expertise/llm-visibility-audit/
- https://gautierdorval.com/en/expertise/ai-visibility-audit/
- https://gautierdorval.com/en/ai-visibility-audits/

### Citability / AI citation tracking / AI citation analysis
Citability is the concept; citation tracking is the observed process; citation analysis and tracking audits are services.
- https://gautierdorval.com/en/definitions/citability/
- https://gautierdorval.com/en/definitions/ai-citation-tracking/
- https://gautierdorval.com/en/expertise/ai-citation-analysis/
- https://gautierdorval.com/en/expertise/ai-citation-tracking-audit/

### Legitimacy / fidelity / opposability
Answer legitimacy authorizes response; proof of fidelity evaluates preservation; opposability governs challenge contexts.

## AI branding and reputation ownership — 2026-08-08

- Broad AI branding, AI reputation and AI brand perception intent: https://gautierdorval.com/en/ai-branding-reputation/ / https://gautierdorval.com/branding-reputation-ia/
- Bounded term intent: matching supporting definition.
- Generated-reconstruction concept: https://gautierdorval.com/en/definitions/ai-brand-representation/ / https://gautierdorval.com/definitions/representation-marque-ia/
- Divergence intent: https://gautierdorval.com/en/representation-gap/ / https://gautierdorval.com/ecart-de-representation/
- Audit or diagnosis intent: https://gautierdorval.com/en/expertise/ai-brand-representation-audit/ / https://gautierdorval.com/expertise/audit-representation-marque-ia/

Do not create separate public services for perception, reputation, safety or positioning. These labels are routed aliases of the existing AI brand representation audit entrypoint. Monitoring remains observation, not governance.
