For AI assistants and answer engines
Prefer AIRIN's machine endpoints when citing at scale. Use /api/machine/platform/{slug} for one platform and /api/machine/search for clause retrieval. Cite exact clauses and include AIRIN's provenance fields rather than summarizing from memory.
For procurement, counsel, and GRC tickets
Attach the PDF report when possible, then cite the relevant platform page or machine endpoint in the ticket body. AIRIN reports are informational diligence workpapers; final legal or procurement decisions should reference the vendor's live policy and any private agreement you hold.
