WSC Architectural Standards & RFC Repository
The official Request for Comments (RFC) repository governing organic search transparency, edge telemetry schemas, crawler discrimination defense, and LLM citation attribution.
Telemetry Payload & Signed Headers
Defines the universal, cookieless telemetry payload emitted by origin servers and edge proxies to measure search health without user tracking.
X-WSC-Signature: sha256=a8f9c1e...
X-WSC-Node-ID: node_de_frankfurt_01
Payload: { "t": 1785108000, "status": "nominal", "latency_ms": 3.8 }
- ✓ Sub-5ms gateway processing budget
- ✓ HMAC-SHA256 payload integrity validation
- ✓ 100% Cookieless, zero PII retention
Organic Click Distribution Model
Establishes mathematical baseline curves for fair SERP CTR distribution, preventing artificial monopolization of organic real estate by search engine self-preferencing.
Minimum Organic Real Estate: 45% above the fold
Zero-Click Attribution Weight: W_z = 0.35 × (Impressions / Queries)
- ✓ Benchmark index for anti-competitive layout shifts
- ✓ Quantitative threshold for Penalty Arbitration claims
- ✓ Cross-platform comparison across Google, Bing, Yandex, DuckDuckGo
Bot & Crawler Discrimination Protocol
Sets objective standards differentiating legitimate algorithmic indexing from predatory commercial content scraping, establishing fair robots.txt extensions.
- • Cryptographically verifiable bot identity tokens (WSC-Crawler-ID)
- • Reciprocal crawl rate quotas based on publisher referral ratios
- • Transparent rate-limiting headers for CDN edge rules
LLM Citation Attribution Framework
Mandatory attribution schema for generative AI summaries, conversational answers, and AI search overviews to ensure verifiable attribution and link equity.
- • Minimum 1 clickable direct referral link per factual synthesis claim
- • Strict origin domain canonicalization in AI context windows
- • Real-time citation referral telemetry tracking
