Citability Engineering: How to Get Your Docs Quoted by ChatGPT and Perplexity

Answer-first content puts the direct answer to the page's question in the
first 40-80 words, before any framing or narrative. It exists because
LLMs assembling responses extract the highest-confidence answer they find
fastest — a page that buries its answer under three paragraphs of
scene-setting gets skipped over one that states it immediately, even if
the buried version is more thorough.

that answer-first approach makes sense, kinda reminds me of how we used to optimize for google featured snippets lol
