Primary bottleneck: Reachability
Declared in robots.txt
Structure tells you whether AI agents can reach and read facebook.com's content. Whether they actually do — visiting, citing, following your rules — is what Observe and Understand show, via Pulse.
All crawlers are blocked via robots.txt. AI systems cannot access this content.
Awaiting Gate 1 — legibility is not evaluated when the domain is unreachable.
Awaiting Gate 1 — content type is not evaluated when the domain is unreachable.
Keyed to each system's inference fetcher — the agent that fetches at answer-time. Blocking a training crawler (e.g. GPTBot) does not by itself block citation. Does not affect the structural gate result.
Reachability is the gate below threshold.
AI systems can't reliably reach facebook.com's content.

Why these recommendations?
Robots.txt is blocking the answer-time fetchers that produce AI citations.
• Renders as an empty JavaScript shell — a non-rendering AI crawler receives almost no content.
• No structured data (JSON-LD / schema.org) — machine-readable metadata is absent.
• No <main>/<article> landmark — main content is not demarcated for parsers.
• No <h1> heading — weak document structure.
• No Organization schema — entity identity is not machine-asserted.
• No author attribution — content lacks attributable provenance.
• Add specific verifiable claims to key pages: AI systems extract attributable facts — named figures, dated events, quantities. Generic statements do not register.
• Add authorship markup: AI systems weight content from named authors more heavily. Anonymous content is treated as lower trust.
• Add publication dates: Retrieval-augmented AI pipelines filter by recency. Undated content is deprioritised in freshness-weighted retrieval.
Can this entity be independently verified outside its own domain? Each source the public web recognizes makes the entity easier for an AI system to trust. Observational only — a lower bound: absence means “not documented in the knowledge graph,” not “does not exist.”
