# Canonical Knowledge Representation

A single, authoritative shape for the facts on your site, free of contradiction across pages.

Canonical knowledge representation is what AI engines hope every site provides. When the same fact (your headquarters, your founding year, your CEO) appears in conflicting forms across pages, AI engines have to guess. When it appears identically across schema, llms.txt, and Markdown - and matches the rendered page - they trust you.
