How this classification was derived · the three gates
Gate 1 · Reachability
pass

AI systems can access and fetch this domain's content.

Gate 2 · Legibility
structured

Content is machine-readable and semantically segmented for AI extraction.

Gate 3 · Authority
moderate

Authority signals are insufficient for reliable AI citation.

Primary constraint: Content is well-structured but authorship, publication dates, or schema markup are incomplete.

AI systems can access mit.edu's content, but authority signals remain weak.

Why these recommendations?

Content is structured but lacks sufficient authority signals for AI systems to treat it as a credible, citable source.

• No structured data (JSON-LD / schema.org) — machine-readable metadata is absent.

• No Organization schema — entity identity is not machine-asserted.

• No author attribution — content lacks attributable provenance.
