Overview
Document public sources, approved sources, preferred sources, websites, listings, social profiles, marketplaces, booking systems, PDFs, reviews, AI answers, and source conflicts.
- A preferred source should be the strongest source for a critical fact.
- Approved third-party paths can be valid if the business relies on them.
- AI answers can show drift, but they are not an approved reference.
What Sources means in Akii
Sources is documented as part of Akii v2 only: Commerce Graph, Agent Gateway, Action Registry, Protocol Compatibility, Answer QA, monitoring, sources, fixes, and Partner Console operations. The page explains the operational role, not a generic marketing claim.
How it works
Akii tracks source type, URL, entity mapping, preferred-source status, third-party path approval, verification status, and crawl/check timestamps where available.
- Start from approved client data instead of scraped fragments.
- Keep public and private data boundaries explicit.
- Attach evidence, owner, status, and version context where the product supports it.
- Retest after changes so issues and readiness gaps do not become stale.
Boundaries
Akii documents what is supported, partial, readiness-only, export-only, planned, or watchlist. Do not treat readiness as certification or exports as full partner integration.
- Do not treat every public page as approved evidence.
- Do not overwrite client-approved facts with an AI answer.
- Conflicting sources should become review items or issues.
