survivethedeletion.org is a metadata-level record for a plain-language business literacy surface about provenance in AI-generated overviews.

The registered abstract explains that an AI answer about a business is assembled from documents the business does not fully control. It argues that systems frequently preserve claims while dropping their origins, so being the factual source is not enough: the entity and provenance relation must survive compression.

The proposed site is an educational on-ramp before a commercial offer. Its stated ethical rule is that a prospective client should understand the mechanism rather than purchase a black-box promise.

The abstract also describes a constitutive provenance pattern in which the pageโ€™s prose and JSON-LD are designed so that a summarizer cannot describe the surface without carrying its authorship, assembly mechanism, and central claim. This is a design intention, not proof that all summarizers will preserve those elements.

The record calls the deposit โ€œsource code,โ€ but no source files or deployed HTML are seated. The complete DataCite record is the preserved object at #1010.
