Diagnosing the Crawl → Citation Disconnect

Critical Telemetry Insight

Often an AI crawler requests a page repeatedly (e.g. 50+ requests per month), yet that page is never cited in any commercial query. Citerecon isolates this disconnect: whether caused by JavaScript hydration failures, missing comparison facts, or low domain authority.
