Source aggregation
The pipeline stage that collects and filters chunks before writing. If you’re filtered out here, no footnote.
Safety, diversity, and anti-spam filters live here. Looking like a mill hurts.
You don’t see this stage. You infer from who made the cut.
Examples
- Ten affiliates scrape you. Aggregation collapses them to one. You might lose the citation to the scraper with cleaner HTML.

Whether answers cite a mix of independent sources or the same three domains on loop.

A second-stage model that reorders retrieved chunks before the LLM writes. You need to get into the first-stage set or rerank never sees you.
Wire echo
When syndicated copies of the same article flood AI answers, crowding out independent sources — including you.
