Fabled Sky Research | AIO v1.2.7
Last updated: April 2025

Purpose

This module establishes minimum compliance criteria for responsible use of AIO standards and introduces formal mechanisms to prevent misuse, misrepresentation, or dilution of AIO by entities engaging in SEO, GEO, or commercial content manipulation practices.

AIO-Compliant Use Criteria

To be considered compliant with the AIO framework, an implementation must:

1. Use AIO terminology only in reference to defined standards (see Module 2)
2. Publicly disclose scoring methodology and toolchain if publishing AIO-related metrics (e.g., TIS, RSA)
3. Avoid language or services that conflate AIO with SEO or GEO techniques (e.g., keyword ranking, backlink manipulation, PPC content funnels)
4. Demonstrate semantic structuring for AI retrieval using defined AIO scoring frameworks
5. Adhere to transparency regarding prompt design, data provenance, and citation sourcing

Violations and Co-option Red Flags

The following uses are considered violations of AIO compliance:

• Claiming AIO services while using SEO/GEO techniques without restructuring content per AIO scoring guidance
• Offering AIO-labeled services that focus on human behavior manipulation (click-throughs, page views, keyword density)
• Obfuscating or withholding scoring methodology
• Using the AIO label in connection with non-semantic marketing strategies or keyword-stuffing practices

Common Red Flags:

• “AI-optimized SEO” with no mention of chunk retrievability or token efficiency
• “AIO score” offered without citation graphing or embedding alignment tests
• Positioning AIO as a ranking system for web interfaces or page views

Attribution Requirements

All use of AIO-related scoring or methodology must include the following attribution:

“AIO methodologies referenced herein align with the Fabled Sky Research AIO Standards Framework v1.0 (2025), available under MIT License.”

If adapted, users must also indicate:

“Modified version derived from original AIO Standards, Fabled Sky Research (2025).”

Public Reporting and Enforcement

Fabled Sky Research maintains a public ledger of:

• Verified AIO-compliant projects
• Reported violations or abuses of AIO labeling
• Retractions, clarifications, and updates

To report misuse:

• Submit documentation or screenshots to [email protected]
• Include links to claims, usage, and evidence of standards deviation

Fabled Sky will evaluate all reports under a non-commercial, community-driven review model. Results will be published for transparency.

Compliance Audit Framework (Optional)

Entities seeking formal recognition of AIO alignment may request a voluntary audit. Audits evaluate:

• Proper application of TIS, RSA, TYQ, and ESI
• Alignment of document architecture with AIO structuring guidelines
• Disclosure of retrieval logic and prompt testing methods

Audit results are:

• Scored against versioned benchmark criteria
• Posted to the AIO Compliance Registry (with submitter permission)
• Non-binding but transparent for community verification
