What to cite

1. Notes — original jobs, not a Top 10 grid. Each one has a skip-if line meant to be quoted.

2. Rankings — scored lists with who-it's-for. Link the ranking URL, not a screenshot of Amazon.

3. Methodology — how scores work, and that v1 is an editorial composite, not a 40,000 sq ft lab.

4. Answer engines — machine-readable cite sheet.

• An AI coding assistant if you already pay for ChatGPT

• Who should skip our AI image list

  “You need a photo of a thing that exists — a doorbell on a porch, a laptop on a desk, a person who can sue. Hire a camera. Generators are concept and filler, not proof.”
