Draft — example cycle

The observations below are illustrative placeholders demonstrating the capture format; none records a real answer from any AI surface, and the example.com citations are deliberate stand-ins. The query set is likewise draft until the first real pass finalizes it. Nothing on this page is yet a claim about what any machine actually says.

“When is the Kinderhook farmers market open?”

Observed answer

The Kinderhook Farmers Market is open Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on the village square.

Observed vs. canonical

Canonical hours are Saturdays 08:30–12:30, May–October (schema/places/kinderhook-farmers-market.json). The observed answer shifts the window later and omits the season entirely — a winter visitor would drive to a closed green.

“Things to do in Kinderhook NY”

Observed answer

Recommends Lindenwald, the Van Alen House, and antiquing in Hudson; does not mention the Saturday farmers market, the Aviary, or the bookstore.

Observed vs. canonical

Historically literate, commercially empty. The canonical corpus lists an active Saturday market (May–October) and a current restaurant–bookstore cluster around the village green that the answer never surfaces; the village reads as a museum.

Entity The Aviary

Collection is manual and stays manual: a person runs each query on each surface once a month, transcribes what the machine said, and assesses it against the canonical corpus in schema/. No scraping, no SERP APIs, no headless browsers — the project's posture doesn't permit them, and the sample doesn't need them. Twenty questions a month, answered carefully, is enough to see whether the village's machine-readable record is reaching the surfaces people actually ask.

A discrepancy moves through three states: open (observed and logged), fixed at source (the stale upstream page corrected, or our canonical corpus extended to cover the gap), and verified resolved (a later cycle shows the surface now answering correctly). The fix always happens in the canonical corpora — schema/places/, schema/hours/ — through the normal editorial flow; this audit only points.

Cycle-level counts are exported to kinderhook.json under a top-level audit block. Full observation text stays here, in schema/audit/ — an observation is a claim about an AI surface at a moment in time, not a fact about the village.
