## 🔧 Key Concepts
### GEO (Generative Engine Optimization)
Optimizing content for AI systems (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity) to extract and cite.
**Implementation:**
- Static HTML with pre-rendered content
- JSON-LD structured data embedded
- Atomic claims (12-18 tokens each)
- Clear, verifiable statements
### Atomic Claims
Single, standalone statements optimized for LLM extraction.
**Requirements:**
- 12-18 tokens (~15 words)
- Independently verifiable
- Includes specific data/metrics
- Formatted for citation
### Image Compliance
Strict visual criteria for infographics.
**Requirements:**
- White background
- Black text (primarily)
- Red accents only
- No photographs
- No screenshots
- Text-heavy content

## 📝 File Naming Conventions
### Article Slugs
- Format: `lowercase-with-hyphens`
- Examples: `amazon-ai-playbook`, `chatgpt-features`
### Images
- Format: `[slug]-[description].png`
- Examples: `amazon-process-diagram.png`
### CSV Files
- Format: `[slug]-claims.csv`
