Publish an original statistic AI models can cite

Publishing an original statistic — a genuinely new number you generated yourself, not repeated from elsewhere — gives AI systems a specific, citable fact attributable directly to you.

A single strong, original, well-documented statistic can become widely cited precisely because it is genuinely new and traceable to a real source.

How to do it

1. 1
   Generate a genuinely original number

   From your own real data or original analysis, not a repeated or slightly-rephrased existing statistic.
2. 2
   Document the methodology clearly

   How you arrived at the number — this is what makes it citable and credible.
3. 3
   Publish it prominently with clear attribution

   Make it easy for others to find and cite back to you.
