Record quality is a policy surface. In an AI-mediated evaluation layer, the discipline with which public bodies publish attributed, machine-readable records determines how those records are quoted back to citizens.
Public record
Record quality is a policy surface.
A policymaker's interest in the Evidence Economy is not the same as a marketer's. It is a public-record interest. In an AI-mediated evaluation layer, the discipline with which public and quasi-public bodies publish attributed, dated, machine-readable records determines how those records are quoted back — or misquoted — to citizens.[S2-SEO-AI]
Verifiability
Structured data changes what is verifiable.
A public record published only as prose is verifiable only by a human reader who has time to read it. A public record published as prose and as structured data — with author, publisher, dates, provenance — is verifiable by anyone, at scale.[S2-JSONLD][S2-SDO][S2-PROV] The Evidence Economy is the observation that this asymmetry has already started to matter economically; policy that recognises it early has more room to shape the outcome.
