The Benchmarks section defines measurable standards used to evaluate entity authority, trust reinforcement, and structural coherence within answer-based retrieval systems.
Purpose of Benchmarks
Benchmarks prevent subjective evaluation. They establish repeatable standards that determine whether a page or entity increases or weakens citation probability.
Core Benchmark Categories
- Entity Clarity Score – consistency and boundary stability (Entity Authority).
- Redundancy Ratio – overlap detection across internal pages (Redundancy Saturation).
- Trust Density – evidence-linked claim ratio (Trust Layer).
- Structural Coherence – internal linking discipline and container integrity (Methodology).
Measurement Inputs
Benchmarks are informed by structured inputs:
Implementation
Benchmarks are applied during intake and filtration phases to ensure new pages do not introduce ambiguity or redundancy.
