Answer-fit inspection
If the title, first answer, comparison cue, and proof block cannot stand alone, the engine has to infer too much. Diego's bias is simple: say the shopper's decision rule in the same place you ask for the sale.
Featured position
Before a shopper filters a category page, an answer engine may have already named three products, explained who each fits, and dismissed the rest. Cart Answer Index is about earning that mention with clear fit claims, buyer-language questions, comparison-ready proof, and guide content that does not hide behind merchandising copy.
