CiteGEO 0.4.0

Twenty merges since 0.3.1, and one theme: the distance between a number and a
claim.

Every panel in this release answers something this category reports a figure
for without ever asking. Whether a cited page was used or only listed. Whether
the figure is any good for a brand of this kind. Whether the wording or the day
decided it. Whether the product is right about what it read. And whether the
change you made is what moved the number.

Two of them are the standard protocol of this field arriving here for the first
time: a control arm, and a person checking the classifier.

Measuring what a citation is worth

Uptake, whether a cited page shaped the answer. A citation says a page was
listed. It does not say the answer used it. Measured as vocabulary overlap
between the page and the answer, because exact phrases find nothing on a real
archive: models rewrite rather than copy. Six live runs scored nought on
phrases and 0.48 to 0.67 on terms.

Who gets the credit. The gap between being cited and being named, from the
two halves that were already stored.

What kind of page gets cited. The format and the source of each cited page
against the published shares, so a result says which kind of page is winning
and not only which ones.

How the pages that beat you are built. The one lever here with a causal
test behind it rather than a correlation, and the panel says it is zero sum: in
that audit the credit moved between documents and the total did not rise.

Who supplies these answers. Citation concentration as a curve. A category
where a handful of domains hold most of the citations is a different game from
a long tail, and nothing here said which one you are in.

Reading a figure against something

Against brands like yours. A visibility figure read against what a declared
kind of brand tends to get. Absent until the kind is declared, never inferred,
and the verdict comes off the range rather than the point.

How steady the framing is. Naming had a stability figure. Framing, the more
volatile half of the same score, had none.

What decides whether you appear. The variance share across the question,
the model and the day, asked of your own archive rather than quoted from a
paper.

Phrasing. Holds the day still and varies the wording, the companion to
asking the same question again on another day. Neither says anything alone.

Checking the instrument

The decoy. A name you declare irrelevant, carried through every run beside
the brand. How often the product finds something that is not there is its own
error rate, reported as the upper end rather than as a share.

Check the machine. A random sample of what the classifier decided, put to a
person. Every figure here rests on a model reading what another model wrote,
and until now nothing put a number on that.

Interference. Published work pushes a rewritten document into generated
answers at about a one in two success rate, and the rewrites stay factually
consistent with their originals, so nothing that checks facts catches one. What
is left is shape, compared over reads already stored.

Cause, rather than coincidence

Did your change do anything. A difference in differences against a control
arm. No control concludes nothing, because a number moving after you changed
something is not evidence your change moved it. A band that straddles nought
says nothing was shown, which is not the same as showing nothing happened.

Was it you, or did the model ship. The version the provider says it ran is
stored and reported. Boundaries where presence moved by more than the noise on
either side are named, a provider that only echoes the model back is
unconfirmed rather than steady, and an experiment names a version that changed
inside its window.

Also

Ready to paste. Fixes written from what the site actually shows, one to
twenty a day, default two. The count is a setting rather than somebody else's
constraint. Generation never reaches out and never invents one, and fewer than
asked for says so instead of padding.

Which surfaces this browser can actually drive. Asked before a run rather
than discovered by spending one.

Two measurements had no door. A rewording and a decoy could be measured and
not added. Both can now be created from the panel that reports them.

The image runs on Node 26 and the suite is tested on the version it ships on.
