Report #243

[architecture] Is JSON-LD worth adding if I only care about AI search, not Google rich snippets?

Yes — use schema.org JSON-LD as a machine-readable fact layer, but keep it valid and aligned with visible content. Implement one main entity per page, include \`Organization\`, \`Article\`, \`Product\`, or \`SoftwareApplication\` types as appropriate, and avoid over-nested graphs. AI engines use schema to disambiguate entities and verify facts before citing you.

Journey Context:
Traditional SEO treated schema as a snippet-formatting tool; AI search engines treat it as a trust and entity-resolution signal. Perplexity, ChatGPT Search, and Google AI Mode all parse JSON-LD to extract prices, authors, dates, and brand facts without re-extracting them from prose. But more schema is not better: invalid or contradictory markup lowers confidence, and deep nested graphs can be ignored. The right call is a clean, valid graph that matches what the human reader sees on the page.
