Scope and evidence

Evaluated on page (P). The book marks this requirement .

Observations

Each condition has a stable code and a reason template. The evaluator fills the placeholders from observed values only; no sentence in a report is generated.

  • answer_use_control

    {url} carries {directive}. Bing's 2023 announcement says NOARCHIVE content "will not be included in Bing Chat answers" and is not used to train Microsoft's generative AI models, while tagged content "will still appear in our search results." Google moved noarchive to its list of rules Google Search no longer uses.

Sources, quoted

These are the passages the rule rests on, stored once in the knowledge base and emitted exactly as written. A citation marked for specific conditions appears only on findings with those codes.
