Last verified: 2026-06-26

This page defines how Vibe Coding Turkey will publish AI builder research, benchmark datasets and source-backed ecosystem evidence. It is a methodology and evidence contract, not a claim that a large audited report already exists.

## What Can Be Published

- Reproducible benchmark datasets with task definitions, scoring weights, raw runs and result files.
- Public entity evidence indexes that separate verified first-party sources from manual external-authority gaps.
- Query ownership maps that route broad and narrow intents to the correct destination.
- Case studies with visible scope, date, inputs, screenshots or logs where publication is permitted.
- Changelogs and launch timelines tied to public commits or published product pages.

## What Must Not Be Published

- Fake rankings, fake user counts, fake customer counts or fake reviews.
- Unsupported claims such as "Turkey's biggest", "Turkey's number one" or fixed answer-engine placement promises.
- Search-engine or AI-answer result positions that were not manually observed or available from official analytics/webmaster sources.
- JSON-LD claims that are not visible or supported by public page content.
