Outcome evidence governance - 7 July 2026

SEO/GEO External Evidence Bridge 2026

External evidence bridge for Visa Atlas SEO/GEO work, joining external-evidence-blocked battlecards to authority channels, GSC/SERP/AI evidence workflows, market-share baselines and traffic proof gates.

This bridge makes the external evidence blocker path auditable. It does not claim authority proof is approved, does not claim backlinks or market share are proven, and does not claim rankings, AI visibility, traffic or 500k monthly visitors.

Method and no-go policy

Rows are generated from external-evidence-needed SEO/GEO dominance gap ledger rows, the measurement run queue, battlecard retrieval coverage, market-share capture plan, authority distribution plan and quarterly market-share evidence baselines.

Join rules

  • Battlecards enter the bridge only when dominanceGapStatus is external-evidence-needed.
  • Battlecards join to measurement runs by battlecardId so run-now authority, GSC and SERP/AI phases stay aligned.
  • Battlecards join to authority channels by authorityChannelIds and to quarterly baselines by battlecardId.
  • Page handoff rows join targetPages across the external-evidence battlecards.

Publication gates

  • Authority claims require approved authority proof with reviewedAt, reviewedBy, canonical backlink/source URLs and approvedForPublication=true.
  • Market-share claims require approved SERP/AI snapshot rollups and npm run seo:market-share-proof with approvedForMarketShareClaim=true.
  • AI visibility claims require approved citation-share, citation-accuracy, AI-referral and ai-visibility proof output.
  • Traffic and 500k/month claims require approved traffic outcome proof, public outcome-claim audit and final SEO/GEO release gate.

Raw analytics, Search Console exports, authority submission accounts, private listing URLs, outreach notes, SERP screenshots, AI transcripts and unapproved rollups stay local unless separately reviewed, redacted and aggregated.

This bridge does not permit public authority, backlink, ranking, AI-citation, traffic, market-share or 500k/month claims. It is external evidence routing metadata only.

Battlecard evidence bridge

These battlecards have public retrieval assets, but public displacement, authority, market-share, AI-visibility and traffic claims remain blocked until approved external or aggregate evidence exists.

Authority channel bridge

Authority channels are readiness and evidence-collection paths. They do not prove accepted listings, backlinks, AI citations or traffic until reviewed authority proof is approved.
