What counts as evidence for a claim?

Evidence for a claim is a spec, a process, or verifiable context placed beside that claim.

Educational material only. Mika does not guarantee search rankings or AI answer citations.

Definition

Evidence is specs, process, or other verifiable context placed next to a claim. A slogan with no spec, process, or verifiable context does not count as evidence for that claim.

Short answer

What counts is a spec, a process, or other verifiable context sitting next to the claim. Slogans do not count, because a reader cannot verify them from the page.

What to check

  • Place a spec next to the claim
  • Or place a process next to the claim
  • Accept other verifiable context
  • Reject a slogan with no support

What this does not claim

Placing specs or process next to a claim does not guarantee that the claim will be cited or positioned in search. Mika does not guarantee that verifiable context produces a recommendation.

A practical example

Suppose a page claims a product suits a stated process and the process steps sit in the following paragraph. Those steps are evidence beside the claim, whereas a slogan with no spec or process is not evidence.
