INTERPRETATION
Keep question types separate. Naming the business in a prompt does not test
whether a customer would discover it without knowing the name.
A mention is not automatically a citation or recommendation.
An unavailable test is not a negative visibility result.
Do not combine API and consumer-app observations without labeling the surfaces.
An on-site edit and a later changed answer do not establish causation.
