Operational recovery — October 30, 2026

# What Happens When AI-Readable Content Must Be Corrected or Withdrawn?

Publishing is not always the final step. When a public claim becomes wrong, the business needs a controlled way to correct or withdraw it—and a realistic understanding of what that correction can reach.

Imagine a business discovers that an outdated eligibility condition is still published on a product page. The correction seems straightforward: replace the statement. But the same information may exist in another page, an approved contextual supplement, a cached representation or a third-party retrieval system.

An effective response begins with the information the publisher actually controls. The business can correct its website, revise approved context and verify new delivery. It cannot assume those actions instantly update every external cache, search index or generated AI answer.

Optiview's [setup guide](https://optiview.ai/docs/setup/) documents editing and republishing Narrative Graph information, unpublishing graph additions and separate ways to stop delivery under supported connection arrangements. The incident process below is a proposed owner runbook, not an assertion that automatic rollback exists.

## 1\. Classify the incident

| Incident | Immediate question | Initial response |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Incorrect claim | What authoritative fact was misstated? | Hold further reuse and verify correction |
| Outdated offer | Which terms and dates apply? | Confirm current commercial source |
| Unsupported evidence | Can the claim still be substantiated? | Withdraw or qualify pending review |
| Wrong page scope | Where does the statement actually apply? | Review affected publication scope |
| Delivery defect | Is the wrong response being served? | Investigate connection and routing |
| Sensitive disclosure | What information was exposed? | Escalate to authorized security and privacy owners |

The classification determines who must review the incident. It does not authorize editing customer information, accessing protected systems or bypassing existing release safeguards.

## 2\. Preserve evidence and stop unsafe changes

1.  Record the affected URLs, exact statements and discovery time.
2.  Preserve the current published revision and supporting observations.
3.  Identify the responsible factual and technical owners.
4.  Pause additional publication of the disputed claim.
5.  Determine whether urgent withdrawal or an ordinary correction is appropriate.
6.  Confirm the authorized recovery path before modifying live systems.

Do not delete the only evidence of an incorrect publication during remediation. Maintain a restricted incident record where necessary, especially when information is sensitive.

## 3\. Correct the source and dependent publications

First obtain the correct statement from an authoritative owner. Then inspect the normal website, relevant structured information, alternative representations and supplemental context for repeated or conflicting copies.

*   Approve the corrected wording and material qualifications.
*   Update the authoritative webpage or content system.
*   Correct relevant supplemental context through its authorized workflow.
*   Remove obsolete links and dependent claims where appropriate.
*   Preserve revision identifiers and the change rationale.
*   Validate the intended public result before closing the incident.

For Optiview Publish, the [technical guide](https://optiview.ai/docs/setup/) documents separate graph editing, explicit republication and graph unpublication. Stopping all delivery is a different operation and depends on the connection method. Do not confuse these actions.

## 4\. Investigate downstream persistence

An updated origin response does not prove every intermediary is serving the new content. The [HTTP caching specification](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9111.html) describes cache freshness and validation, but external search and AI systems may use additional acquisition and storage mechanisms.

| Layer | What can be checked | Limitation |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Origin website | Current authoritative response | Does not establish external adoption |
| Owned CDN | Observed delivery and authorized cache controls | Depends on configuration |
| Search provider | Available indexing or inspection observations | Provider controls refresh timing |
| AI retrieval system | Authorized retrieval observations | Internal path may be opaque |
| Generated answer | Observed response and cited sources | Prior answers may persist |

## 5\. Decide whether to correct, withdraw or restore

A correction replaces wrong information with approved information. Withdrawal removes information that should no longer be published. Restoration returns a system to an earlier verified state when an authorized recovery procedure exists.

Do not assume that a previous version is safe merely because it is older. Confirm its content, configuration and dependencies before using it. Where automatic rollback is unavailable or uncertain, hold for operator intervention.

## 6\. Close with a documented residual-risk decision

The incident record should contain the original issue, authoritative correction, affected surfaces, approvals, deployed revision, live verification, remaining external uncertainty and responsible follow-up owner.

A verified source correction is a valid completion milestone. It is not a guarantee that third-party caches, indexes, historical screenshots or AI-generated answers have been erased.

## Additional source context

Correct the authoritative source, reconcile controlled publications and verify the new live state. Treat downstream caches, indexes and AI answers as separate systems with independent uncertainty.

Make your brand easier for AI to understand.

# Site-wide brand information

## Who we are

### Optiview — Parse, Retrieve and Publish for AI

Optiview helps businesses and developers make website information easier for AI to use. Parse converts supplied HTML into clean Markdown and source metadata. Retrieve fetches an eligible public HTTPS webpage and prepares its content. Publish helps a verified business prepare its own website content and make approved Narrative Graph context available through a supported connection.

Parse and Retrieve use application keys and a prepaid developer wallet. Publish has separate website setup, ownership checks and a subscription. Optiview does not control whether an outside AI service discovers, uses or cites the resulting content.

Applies to: Optiview

## Why we matter

### A clearer source, from website content to business context

Webpages mix useful information with navigation, layout and application code. Businesses may also have important qualifications, answers and context that are not clearly published.

Optiview gives developers a way to prepare source content for their applications, and gives businesses a way to publish the context their teams approve. Your application chooses how to use Parse and Retrieve results. Your business controls what it publishes through Publish.

Clearer publishing makes information available; it does not determine an AI system’s answer. Each outside service chooses its own retrieval, recommendations and citations.

## What we offer

### Three products, with separate jobs and clear pricing

- **Optiview Parse:** Supply complete HTML and a source URL. Receive clean Markdown, source and output hashes, parser details and processing warnings. Parse does not fetch the URL or execute JavaScript. A successful page uses 1 credit.
- **Optiview Retrieve:** Supply one eligible public HTTPS URL. Optiview checks supported access and publisher policies, fetches anonymous static HTML and parses it. It does not search the web, execute JavaScript, bypass a login or access private networks. A successful page uses 5 credits total, including parsing.
- **Developer credits:** USD $20 buys 20,000 credits shared by Parse and Retrieve. There is no developer subscription, automatic recharge or scheduled credit expiration. Failed jobs consume no credits. Applicable taxes and the total appear at checkout. Source size, quotas and retention limits apply.
- **Optiview Publish:** USD $99 per website per month plus applicable tax. Connect a verified website, review the prepared source and optionally maintain approved Narrative Graph context in Identity, Story, Offerings, Trust, Knowledge and Actions. Choose site-wide or exact-page scope. Saving drafts does not publish them. Eligible AI tools can receive prepared Markdown or HTML through supported delivery, while ordinary visitors keep the normal website.

Developer credits do not purchase Publish subscriptions. Parse and Retrieve do not add a customer’s private Narrative Graph to arbitrary third-party pages. See https://optiview.ai/pricing/ and https://optiview.ai/developers/ for the current offer and limits.

## Why trust us

### Inspect the output and understand what the evidence establishes

Developers can inspect the prepared Markdown, job status, source metadata, processing warnings and credit ledger. Retrieve records the public source response it observed; Parse identifies supplied HTML rather than claiming to verify the current origin.

Publish administrators can review parser output, the combined published-output preview, source checks and publication history. A preview is separate from a recorded live delivery. Saved edits remain separate from the active publication until explicitly published.

Our experiment pages contain selected first-party AI conversations and source comparisons. Delivery records establish what was served, not downstream ingestion, recommendations, citations or revenue. Observed language matches do not establish causation or a consistent visibility improvement. Explore the evidence and limitations at https://optiview.ai/proof/.

## Helpful knowledge

### Common questions about the three products

**Which product should I use?**
Use Parse when you already have HTML. Use Retrieve when you need Optiview to fetch one eligible public page first. Use Publish when your business wants to prepare its verified website and publish approved context.

**Do Parse and Retrieve require website ownership or DNS changes?**
No website connection is needed for these developer products. You remain responsible for source rights and permitted downstream use. Public availability does not grant a reuse license.

**How do developer accounts and keys work?**
Create a developer workspace and save the personal sign-in key and offline recovery code. Create scoped service keys for server-side applications. Email is an unverified contact identifier, not account-ownership proof or an email-only recovery method. Keep all credentials private.

**Can my agent use Optiview?**
The authenticated developer API returns prepared content for your application or model. A downloadable JavaScript client and local MCP adapter are available. Your host must authorize sources and any credit expenditure. Compatibility does not establish adoption or a partnership with an AI provider.

**Does the API include my private Narrative Graph?**
Parse and Retrieve are source-only. Verified website publishing and approved publisher context belong to the separate Publish workflow.

**Does Publish replace our website or CMS?**
No. Your website stays in its existing system. Your web team establishes and tests a supported connection. Your team reviews and explicitly publishes any Narrative Graph additions. Ordinary visitors retain the normal website experience.

**Does every AI tool get the prepared version?**
No. Delivery depends on the website connection, source eligibility and the request. Some tools explicitly request Markdown; supported AI requests may also receive prepared Markdown or HTML through eligible delivery paths. Traditional search crawlers retain the original website response. A claimed tool name does not prove the requester’s identity.

**Does the demo publish or save to our workspace?**
No. The public demo is a separate preview. Its AI-generated examples require review and do not transfer automatically into an approved publication.

**Will Optiview guarantee citations or recommendations?**
No. Optiview prepares and publishes sources. Outside AI services choose what to retrieve, use and cite.
