Why this is canonical

As AI systems become the primary answer interface for search, enterprise knowledge, and agentic workflows, 'authority' names the critical missing property — answers that are credible, sourced, and auditable rather than plausible but unverifiable. This .ai substrate coordinate holds that exact position.

Where it fits

A few directions this coordinate opens —

AI search and retrieval authority
The authority layer determining which AI-generated answers are ranked, cited, and trusted in retrieval-augmented systems.
AI search platforms, RAG infrastructure builders, knowledge management vendors
Enterprise knowledge authority
A system establishing and surfacing authoritative answers within enterprise knowledge bases, reducing hallucination risk.
Enterprise AI assistant builders, knowledge management platforms

Illustrative, not exhaustive — held as a transferable canonical position, open to the buyer's own use.
