The canonical layer indexes every named company and feature that appears across ManticScore research runs. These endpoints expose anonymized aggregate stats for each canonical entity — appearance counts, co-occurring features and companies, and a sitemap of every indexable slug. All endpoints on this page are public — no Authorization header required. Responses are aggressively cacheable and never expose user_id, project_id, or any user-identifiable data. Derivative idea texts only appear when the underlying project has been explicitly published.
