Reading GoGuides correctly
Evidence → Interpretation → Decision. GoGuides publishes independently observed evidence and clearly identified GoGuides-derived interpretation. A consuming system applies its own ranking, safety, citation, retrieval, recommendation, and source-use policy.
A GoGuides observation is not a universal truth certificate. An automated request does not by itself prove indexing, training, citation, recommendation, ranking, or reliance by the requesting company.
