Scope and evidence
Evaluated on site. 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.
verification_tokens{tokens_clause} Presence suggests Search Console or Bing Webmaster Tools may be set up; it proves nothing about how they are used. Verification lasts "as long as Search Console can confirm the presence and validity of your verification token", so removing a token can drop verification.
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.
