The category comes first
A business is answerworthy when its identity, offer, facts, answers, evidence, limitations and freshness are publicly accessible, machine-readable and independently checkable.
The standard, grammar and validator are open. The Engine is the initial reference implementation, and other implementations are invited.
Why the implementation spans functions
A technical crawl reveals access conditions. Buyer-decision analysis establishes which problem deserves a canonical surface, which claim can carry a category, which evidence should become original research and which publisher has a credible reason to care.
The Engine connects product, positioning, website architecture, technical SEO, GEO, proof, reviews, PR, authority, partnerships, marketing and distribution. The public delivery presents exact evidence states, commercial consequences and completion tests.

Founder review removes weak observations, resolves product and category decisions and sequences dependencies across channels. A PR action should wait for the proof asset it depends on. A comparison page should wait for a defensible category frame. Outreach should wait for a target-specific reason to care.
Evidence boundaries remain explicit
The Engine separates verified, unsupported, contradicted, unreached, stale and incomplete conditions. Blocked providers remain unreached. Independent M3 corroboration follows a separate supporting re-fetch.
