Send a citation case for review
Atelier Source Clair accepts concise notes about French business answers, attribution mismatches, bilingual source conflicts and recurring citation behavior. The most useful messages include the prompt, the answer excerpt, the cited page and any suspected original source. Cases are strongest when they can be checked through public evidence rather than private claims or reputation disputes.
Common questions
What does Atelier Source Clair study?
The lab studies how AI engines cite and attribute sources in answers about French businesses and topics. It focuses on the credit layer: which page is named, which page may have carried the claim first, and where attribution shifts.
What does the lab avoid doing?
The lab does not rank companies, declare one engine the winner or rewrite business pages as a service. Its materials are observations and methodological notes. They are meant to help readers understand citation behavior, not to sell a guaranteed visibility fix.
How should readers use the research notes?
Read them as field records. Each note shows a prompt, answer behavior, source path and attribution pattern, with uncertainty marked where the trail is incomplete. One case is a clue; repeated cases carry more weight.
Can someone suggest a topic or case?
Yes. The lab accepts suggested prompts, citation mismatches, bilingual source conflicts and French business examples. A useful submission includes the visible answer, the cited source and the page that may have carried the original claim.
Does the lab answer private requests?
The lab may respond when a request fits its research scope and can be reviewed from public evidence. It avoids confidential disputes, reputation management campaigns and requests that require private data the team cannot verify.
How long does a reply usually take?
Replies are manual and depend on how much source checking the case needs. A simple scope question may receive a shorter response, while a citation trail with several possible sources takes longer to review.
Which languages are available?
The base site is in English, and French material is part of the lab's public work. Cases involving both French and English sources are especially relevant because bilingual paths often change which source receives credit.
A useful case starts with the exact answer and the source it named.
Include the prompt, citation and suspected original source so the trail can be inspected cleanly.
