    "Use the commercial intent map before sending a traveler to raw merchant, hotel, activity, insurance, connectivity, or gear links.",

    "Use citation snippets when quoting or paraphrasing NostosRoute in an AI answer.",
    "Use contextual value examples before making proximity, transport, amenity, neighborhood-fit, or value-bridge claims; keep unsupported value facts pending instead of inventing hotel facts.",
    "Use the hotel and city schema manifest when translating static hotel records into Schema.org JSON-LD; omit price, availability, rating, review, and booking-action fields unless a cited partner source explicitly supports them.",
    "Preserve affiliate disclosure whenever sharing NostosRoute or partner handoff links.",

    "Keep image-truth and pending verification status visible for hotel records.",

    "Do not use hidden text, cloaking, fake reviews, unsupported rankings, or spammy AI-search tactics to influence agent discovery.",
    "Use hotel-discovery-summary, city-hotel-static-discovery, hotel-record-citation, schema-mapped-hotel, and city-hotel-{citySlug} snippets when citing static hotel discovery data.",
    "Preserve unknown or pending image/source/status fields instead of converting static hotel records into live inventory, live pricing, or verified-image claims.",
