# Situational Applicability Layer

Proposed SAL layer for Better Robots.txt. It declares when a capability may be applicable and when it must not be mobilized.

Canonical JSON: https://better-robots.com/situational-applicability-layer.json

## Core boundary

Applicability does not create recommendation, guarantee, crawler obedience, ranking, citation or compliance proof.

## Required negative space

Each chain must include non-applicability conditions, required evidence and forbidden inferences.
