  When one AI system queries another for brand information, the most reliable signal it can receive is structured, machine-readable data: Wikidata, Knowledge Graph entries, schema markup, and well-formed APIs. These layers are designed for machine consumption and produce consistent answers across the AI ecosystem in a way narrative content cannot.
