Measured boundary

Perplexity Standard (Free) could find the canonical project after an infotradescout publisher hint, but the observed run summarized it instead of activating it. Its one-prompt website response was a Markdown outline with unsupported business facts, not a built and verified website. After this strict guide was public and its discovery URLs were submitted, a fresh exact name-only session still chose the 2003 article and cognitive-science meanings. Perplexity Free remains failed until a real run loads and uses the guide.

Publishing this guide creates a clear portable route; it does not force an outside AI company to retrieve or follow it. The client table keeps those two facts separate.
