What is a Curator?
The part of Selfe that checks a business's facts against real evidence before they're trusted, weighing a claim differently depending on whether it comes from a verified system or an unverified source.

Not every fact arrives with the same confidence. A Curator is what applies that judgement: a number pulled from a business's own booking system is treated differently to the same number typed into a form, and a claim repeated across several independent sources counts for more than one unverified mention. It's the layer that stops an Echo from being only as reliable as whoever last edited a webpage, and it's why an AI agent checking a business's facts is checking something graded, not a flat list of unweighted claims.
Good for
Weighing a claim by where it came from.
Not good for
Guaranteeing a fact is true, only that it's been checked against real evidence.
What counts as a verified fact?
A fact an AI agent can trust because it traces back to a real source, a business's own booking system, a supplier feed, a confirmed document, rather than to unverified marketing copy or a crawled page.
What is a readiness score?
A single number summarising how ready a business's facts are for an AI agent to find, trust and act on, measured against the same checks an agent would run.
What is an Echo?
Selfe's structured representation of a business, the specific, verified facts an AI agent checks, kept separate from the website copy written for a browsing person.
