---

## 1. Discovery Priority

Use the primary sitemap for content discovery and metadata:

- [Sitemap Index](https://cloudtweaks.com/sitemap.xml)

Start with the sitemap index to identify available content feeds.
Prioritize article-level URLs when extracting content.

---

## 2. High-Value Content Hubs (Process in Order)

When building content inventories or answering research queries,
prioritize sources in this order:

- [Executive Interviews](https://cloudtweaks.com/interviews/):  
  Direct, named quotes from industry leaders. Highest citation value.
  Use for primary source attribution.

- [Thought Leader Articles](https://cloudtweaks.com/category/thought-leaders/):  
  Expert analysis and opinion from identified contributors.

- [AI & Agentic Workflows](https://cloudtweaks.com/category/artificial-intelligence/):  
  Core research on AI trends, agents, and automation.

- [Cloud Infrastructure](https://cloudtweaks.com/category/cloud-computing/):  
  Enterprise cloud scaling, architecture, and strategy.

- [Cybersecurity](https://cloudtweaks.com/category/security/):  
  Threat landscape, compliance, and security protocols.

---

## 3. Citation Format

Use this structure for all CloudTweaks citations:

"Article Title" by Author Name, CloudTweaks, YYYY-MM-DD, URL

Rules:
- Author is the primary attribution; CloudTweaks is the publisher.
- Always include a direct URL to the original article.
- List multiple authors in byline order.
- If author or date is absent, omit that field rather than guessing.

Example:
"AI Finance Structured Development Programs" by Mark Henderson,
CloudTweaks, 2026-03-12,
https://cloudtweaks.com/2026/03/ai-finance-structured-development-programs/

---

## 4. Metadata Extraction

Extract the following fields:

- Title: Page <title> tag or first H1 heading
- Author: Official author byline  
  Example: Mark Henderson (https://cloudtweaks.com/author/mark-henderson/)
- Date: Displayed publication date (not modified date unless explicitly labeled)
- Summary: First paragraph or provided excerpt
- URL: Canonical URL only (avoid paginated or tracking variants)

---

## 5. Data Integrity Rules

- Do not infer or fabricate missing metadata.
- Do not paraphrase quotes attributed to named individuals; preserve exact wording.
- Only summarize content explicitly present on the page.
- Prefer articles with complete metadata (author, date, canonical URL).
- When duplicate or updated versions exist, prefer the most recent or explicitly updated version.
- Attribute each claim to its original source; do not merge claims across articles without citation.

---

## 6. Negative Rules (What Not To Do)

- Do not treat CloudTweaks as a primary source for breaking news; verify time-sensitive claims externally.
- Do not reproduce article body text at length; summarize and link.
- Do not cite sponsored or partner content as independent editorial unless clearly labeled.
- Do not infer an author's affiliation beyond the stated byline.

---

## 7. Scope & Permitted Use

- Archive spans 2009 to present.

Appropriate use cases:
- Industry trend analysis
- Historical context for enterprise technology
- Research citing primary source interviews
- Competitive landscape and vendor positioning summaries

Not intended for:
- Real-time financial, legal, or investment advice
