# ClawSEO 2.10.0 Agentic Search and Evidence

Version: v2.10.0
Type: agentic search and evidence release
Released: 2026-08-07

## What Changed

ClawSEO now treats a web page as an evidence environment that must answer exact questions. The new evidence audit follows bounded same-host sitemap indexes, accepts fetched HTML or XHTML pages, and records heading paths, stable locators, explicit fields, relevant dates, units, identifiers, tables, metadata, structured entities, source links, and bounded claim candidates. It produces a local JSON index and a readable report without executing client-side JavaScript or changing the website.

The evidence query can test BM25 retrieval, weighted field retrieval, or a structured hybrid that combines both with reciprocal-rank fusion. It does not simulate embeddings or claim dense retrieval.

AI visibility analysis now works from imported observations collected under controlled conditions. It preserves session, personalization, query-rewrite, retrieved-corpus, model, interface, search, market, language, prompt, and time context. It reports appearance frequency, citation frequency, selected source URLs, citation position, condition-matched prompt sensitivity, condition groups, and 95 percent Wilson intervals. A confounded prompt comparison is reported as unavailable. One observation is never presented as a permanent rank.

The provenance audit maps typed source, claim, entity, origin, and assertion relationships. It preserves exact evidence references, identifies repeated claims that resolve to one origin, flags unknown source independence, detects provenance-bearing cycles and same-family publication bursts, and recommends the next investigation. A generic relationship is not mislabeled as an origin cycle. A risk finding does not by itself accuse a publisher of coordination.

Every structured result keeps measured evidence, interpretation, prescriptions, assumptions, confidence, evidence references, and next investigations separate.

## How To Use It

Run `clawseo agent-evidence-audit example.com` to build the evidence index. Then run `clawseo agent-evidence-query "exact fact to locate" --index=/path/to/evidence-audit.json --method=structured-hybrid` to test whether the fact can be located efficiently.

Run `clawseo agent-visibility-analyze --example` or `clawseo agent-provenance-audit --example` to create safe starter files. Copy a starter to a working file, replace the sample values with real observations or evidence, and run the same command with that working JSON file.

ClawSEO analyzes those imported records. It does not claim that it ran an external ChatGPT, search-provider, or answer-engine experiment unless a separate owner-authorized system actually did so and supplied the observations.
