Current methodology
Citation-path bots are scored separately from training bots. OAI-SearchBot controls ChatGPT search discovery while GPTBot is used for model training. llms.txt is treated as optional because it is not a demonstrated citation gate. Fresh, server-visible content and explicit last-updated dates receive higher priority.
