Structured Data Gaps and Friction

Missing Organisation markup forces models to infer identity from prose, increasing error and omission risk.

The gap

Without structured identity data, systems reconstruct entities from scattered text. That reconstruction is where friction and hallucination risk rise.

JSON-LD · Validate structured data

Is JSON-LD mandatory?
Not legally. Practically it is one of the lowest-cost ways to reduce identity inference friction.

Does valid markup guarantee citation?
No. It improves machine readability, not entitlement to recommendations.
