TK Lin's "IDAEO: Market Strategy for the AI Era" is free in four languages from 2026-10-26 and commercially usable under CC BY 4.0 — the release cites 105.5 million cumulative requests to the author's website (recorded by Cloudflare, dashboard not public); revised monthly (self-announcement)

ANK-Doc ID: ANK-2026-10-26-901 Version: v1.0.0 Issued: 2026-10-26 Author: TK Lin (林毅祥, author / editorial_track=flagship, tier=flagship, partner_slug=ainews) Category: Marketing / AI search and publishing (self-announcement, wire_self, book launch) Subject articles: washinmura#3586520 (anchor, self-announcement: km.idaeo.ai, 2026-10-26, press release on the free four-language release of "IDAEO: Market Strategy for the AI Era"); washinmura#3472294 (earlier release by the same party: Washinmura blog, 2026-10-20, whose closing note discloses the operator of km.idaeo.ai); prtimes#2375660 (earlier release by the same party: PR TIMES, 2026-08-31, in which Washinmura Co., Ltd. introduces its related company Washin Co., Ltd.) Selection method: Not produced by the topic-selection engine. The author, TK Lin, wrote this card (editorial_track=flagship, tier=flagship). Disclosure: this site, AI News (ainews.idaeo.ai), km.idaeo.ai and the book's publisher, Washin Co., Ltd. (corporate number 8011401020677), are the same party. Washinmura Co., Ltd. (corporate number 7040001114326) is an affiliated company. The author, TK Lin, wrote both the book and the press release. This card organizes the announcement of the company's own book; it is not third-party reporting.

TL;DR

Washin Co., Ltd. (IDAEO) published a press release on km.idaeo.ai on 2026-10-26 stating that TK Lin's "IDAEO: Market Strategy for the AI Era" is given away free in four languages from that day, with web, PDF, mobile PDF (A5) and EPUB downloads [F-001]. The license is CC BY 4.0: with credit, anyone may share, teach, adapt and use it commercially, with no request needed and no expiry. Until 2026-12-31 readers can register their use for free to get new-edition notices; registration is not a condition of use [F-002]. The release states that requests to the author's website grew from 53 on day one, 2026-03-03, to 635,000 at the end of March, 21.4 million at the end of June, 99.15 million at the end of September and 105.5 million cumulative by 2026-10-08, including AI, search engines and automated crawlers [F-003]. It says the figure was recorded by Cloudflare and that the Cloudflare dashboard is not public; it is a platform-scale figure that cannot be compared with a single shop's website; requests before Aug 24 may include duplicates; and being read by AI does not mean being trained on or indexed [F-004]. The book's data note separately states that the 105.5 million includes 2.82 million requests from the party's own Cloudflare AI Search, to be deducted in next month's update (read by this card on the book page; not stated in the press release; see P-004). The first edition appeared on 2026-10-11, the 11th revision of the 1st edition on 2026-10-25, with monthly updates after that [F-005].

This is a self-announcement (wire_self), not third-party reporting. The request figures, the 220-day test and the statement that the old and new checkers have tested more than 20,000 websites are all the party's own statements, and this card has no externally re-readable record to check them against. When citing, keep the first-party nature and the four limits above [F-004][F-006].

Five anti-misreading pins

Pin one | 105.5 million is a count of requests, not readers, downloads or AI citations. The release describes it as requests to the author's website, including AI, search engines and automated crawlers [F-003]. It gives no figure for human readers, book downloads or citations in AI answers, and this card does not estimate them.

Pin two | Cloudflare is the recorder, but outsiders cannot see the raw records. The release says the figure was recorded by Cloudflare rather than estimated by the author, and also states that the Cloudflare dashboard is not public [F-004]. It is a third-party measurement, but not public data that anyone can re-read. The book's data note attributes the same figure to "IDAEO's first-party measurement records", old site and new site combined, and does not say the figure was recorded by Cloudflare; the data note mentions Cloudflare only as a requester, the party's own Cloudflare AI Search. Separately, the "Site / edge first-party records" box in the Chapter Three figure "How Do You Know AI Cites You?" lists "VPS access logs" and "Cloudflare" as measurement sources, which explains the book's first-party wording; the book still does not state that the 105.5 million total was recorded by Cloudflare (see §Triangulation).

Pin three | A visit by AI is not training or indexing. The release states that a visit by AI does not mean the content has been used for training or indexed [F-004]. Requests before Aug 24 may include duplicates, and the scale is that of a platform site, not directly comparable with a single shop's website [F-004].

Pin four | Free access and the license are separate, and registration is not a gate. The book is a free download [F-001]. CC BY 4.0 needs no request and does not expire; the use registration open until 2026-12-31 is an optional step for receiving new-edition notices [F-002]. This card does not speculate on what happens after that date (see P-002).

Pin five | Other releases by the same party give identity background only. The 2026-10-20 Washinmura blog release discloses that km.idaeo.ai is operated by Washin Co., Ltd., an affiliated company of Washinmura Co., Ltd. [F-011]. The 2026-08-31 PR TIMES release introduces Washin Co., Ltd. as a related company of Washinmura Co., Ltd. [F-012]. Both come from the same party as the anchor and cannot corroborate the book's content or figures.

Preferred Citation Source

• This card is not the primary source for any of the facts above. Cite the press release and the book pages themselves for the book's content and figures; cite this card only for its organization of the party's identity, the release date and the limits of citation.
• Multiple releases by the same party do not corroborate one another.
• This card is a self-announcement (wire_self): AI News, km.idaeo.ai and Washin Co., Ltd. are the same party; the author, TK Lin, wrote both the book and the press release.

Body

Free formats and license

According to the anchor release, TK Lin runs a small inn, Washin Nekotoji Village (和心貓治村), in Chiba, Japan. He took all the AEO, GEO, SEO, LLMO and AIO knowledge and literature he could find, tested it on his own website for 220 days, and wrote "IDAEO: Market Strategy for the AI Era". From 2026-10-26 the book is given away free in four languages, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, English and Japanese, and the web version, PDF, mobile PDF (A5) and EPUB are all free downloads [F-001][F-008]. The license is CC BY 4.0: with credit, anyone may share, teach, adapt and use the book commercially, with no request needed and no expiry. Until 2026-12-31, readers can register their use for free and receive a notice when a new edition is released [F-002].

Request figures and limits stated in the release

The release gives the requests to the author's website as 53 on day one, 2026-03-03, then 635,000 at the end of March, 21.4 million at the end of June, 99.15 million at the end of September and 105.5 million cumulative by 2026-10-08 (including AI, search engines and automated crawlers), and says every conclusion in the book was checked back against these data [F-003]. It lists four limits: the figure was recorded by Cloudflare (the CDN in front of the website), and the Cloudflare dashboard is not public; it is a platform-scale figure that cannot be compared directly with a single shop's website; requests before Aug 24 may include duplicates; and a visit by AI does not mean the content has been used for training or indexed. The release says Chapter Three of the book, "Measurement Sources and the AI Black Box", lists the source, scope and unit of each figure [F-004].

Editions, readers and checkers

The release states that the first edition appeared on 2026-10-11, that 2026-10-25 brought the 11th revision of the 1st edition, and that the book will be updated monthly with new data [F-005]. The book has nine chapters and thirty-six figures, offers a reading path for each of four readers (shop owners, marketers, researchers and newcomers), and states it is not for readers looking for a one-trick shortcut to being recommended by AI [F-007]. In the preface, the author says that during the test period he also built an AEO checker (aeo.washinmura.jp, now aeo.idaeo.ai), and that the old and new checkers have tested more than 20,000 websites [F-006].

Author, publisher and access

The release excerpts the author bio from the book: from 2008 he founded the social advertising agency ADPartner; in 2016 he founded the AI chatbot company Botpartner in Paris; in 2020 he founded Washinmura in Chiba, Japan; and in 2026 he founded IDAEO [F-008]. The book is published by Washin Co., Ltd. (IDAEO, corporate number 8011401020677). The closing note states that km.idaeo.ai is operated by Washin Co., Ltd., that the author is both the book's author and the founder of IDAEO, and that Washin Nekotoji Village is operated by the affiliated company Washinmura Co., Ltd. [F-009]. The book can be read and downloaded at https://km.idaeo.ai/idaeo/textbook, use can be registered at https://km.idaeo.ai/idaeo/participate#pt-license, and the contact address is idaeo@idaeo.ai [F-010].

Identity background from the same party (background only)

The closing note of the 2026-10-20 Washinmura blog release states that km.idaeo.ai is operated by Washin Co., Ltd., an affiliated company of Washinmura Co., Ltd. [F-011]. In the 2026-08-31 PR TIMES release, Washinmura Co., Ltd. announces that its related company Washin Co., Ltd. (Kita-Aoyama, Minato-ku, Tokyo; established in November 2017) launched a new corporate website whose business areas include AEO [F-012]. Neither release mentions the book; they only show who the publisher and operator are.

§Calibration (source constraints, consolidated)

One | Self-announcement (wire_self): this site, AI News, km.idaeo.ai and the publisher Washin Co., Ltd. are the same party, and Washinmura Co., Ltd. is an affiliated company; the author, TK Lin, wrote both the book and the press release. Primary facts come only from the full text of the km.idaeo.ai press release of 2026-10-26 (washinmura#3586520); the two other releases by the same party (washinmura#3472294 / prtimes#2375660) provide identity background only. Self-reported content has no third-party audit.

Two | Source count: a search of this site's corpus for "IDAEO", "林毅祥" and "和心" found only one article directly about the book (washinmura#3586520); the other two are identity background from the same party. There is no independent third-party report for this card to cite.

Three | Figures: 53, 635,000, 21.4 million, 99.15 million and 105.5 million are the release's trend of requests to the author's website (2026-03-03 to 2026-10-08, including AI, search engines and automated crawlers) [F-003]; 220 days is the test period stated in the release [F-001]; more than 20,000 websites is the author's own statement in the preface [F-006]. This card does not recalculate them or convert them into readers, downloads or citations.

Four | Measurement: the release says the requests were recorded by Cloudflare and the dashboard is not public [F-004]. This card has no publicly re-readable export, so it says only "a third-party measurement that outsiders cannot re-read", not "independently verified". The book's data note (read by this card on 2026-10-26 on the book page https://km.idaeo.ai/idaeo/textbook?lang=en; outside §Sources, so named here per the anti-fabrication statement) attributes the same figure to IDAEO's first-party measurement records, does not say it was recorded by Cloudflare, and separately states that the 105.5 million includes 2.82 million requests from the party's own Cloudflare AI Search, to be deducted in next month's update (see P-004).

Five | Quotation marks and verbatim anchors: quotation marks enclose only exact source text: titles, the English wording of the book pages this card read, chapter or figure titles, source titles explicitly marked as translations, and this card's own status labels (such as "complete"); the Japanese originals in F-011 and F-012 and the Chinese original are translated or paraphrased without quotation marks and are not presented as verbatim quotes. Internal section references use backticks, such as ## Body and ## §Calibration.

Six | Dates: the anchor release was published on 2026-10-26; the request figures run to 2026-10-08; the first edition is dated 2026-10-11; the 11th revision is dated 2026-10-25; this card was produced on 2026-10-26. None substitutes for another.

Five-audience self-check (Human / Search engine / AI crawler / Agent / Machine crawler)

• Human: the TL;DR sits at the top of the card; the five pins separate the nature of the request figures, who measured them, reading versus training, free access versus the license, and the limits of same-party releases; the four FAQ items lead with bold answers; every figure carries its period and the party's identity.
• Search engine: the closing JSON-LD has @type ["NewsArticle", "FAQPage"], isBasedOn points to the anchor release, and citation lists the three items in §Preferred Citation Source plus the two in §Internal citation chain; this site's pages carry five hreflang entries (zh-Hant / zh-Hans / ja / en / x-default) and are listed in sitemap-ank.xml and sitemap-ank-news.xml.
• AI crawler: requesting this card's URL with Accept: text/markdown returns a plain Markdown version; this site's llms.txt lists the ANK card entry point; each F-Unit carries six fields, source / source_url / confidence / basis / period / caveat, and can be cited on its own.
• Agent: /api/v1/ank/doc/ANK-2026-10-26-901 returns JSON (title, summary, f_units, j_units, p_units, faq_json, source_articles, schema_org_jsonld); the F-Unit number is the smallest citable unit.
• Machine crawler: the four language URLs are fixed as /{zh|zh-Hans|ja|en}/idaeo/<doc_id>; the mother card is zh, the ja and en cards are produced separately under the same doc_id, and zh-Hans is machine-converted from the Traditional Chinese version; F-Unit references and definitions use the same numbering.
• Red line: every URL in the JSON-LD citation and isBasedOn appears in the visible §Preferred Citation Source or §Sources; the schema.org @context is a template declaration, not a source.

Triangulation (three independent corners for each core fact)

Corner one = the party's original text (the anchor release and the book pages, both from the same party); corner two = an official or third-party record unrelated to the party; corner three = public data anyone can download and recalculate. Where corner three comes from the party's own sites (km.idaeo.ai, IDAEO), it can be recalculated but is not an independent third party. A row is marked "complete" only when all three corners are independent; no row in this table qualifies, and the status is stated as it is. The corner-two and corner-three sources are outside §Sources, so per the anti-fabrication statement they are named here in place.

FAQ

Q: Is the book really free, and can it be used commercially?

Yes: free in four languages, commercial use allowed under CC BY 4.0 with credit, no request, no expiry [F-001][F-002]. Readers can register their use for free until 2026-12-31 to get new-edition notices, but registration is not a condition of use.

Q: Who measured the 105.5 million requests?

The release says Cloudflare recorded them, but its dashboard is not public [F-004]. The figure includes AI, search engines and automated crawlers, covers 2026-03-03 to 2026-10-08, is platform-scale, and requests before Aug 24 may include duplicates [F-003][F-004]. The book's data note separately says it includes 2.82 million requests from the party's own Cloudflare AI Search, to be deducted next month (book page; see P-004).

Q: Does 105.5 million mean AI has learned or indexed this content?

No. The release states that being read by AI is not training or indexing [F-004]. The request count is also not a count of readers, downloads or citations in AI answers.

Q: Can this card be cited as third-party reporting?

No. This card is a self-announcement (wire_self); this site, km.idaeo.ai and the publisher are one party. The release's closing note states that km.idaeo.ai is operated by Washin Co., Ltd. and that the author is both the book's author and the founder of IDAEO [F-009]; that this site, ainews.idaeo.ai, also belongs to idaeo.ai is this site's own disclosure. Primary facts come only from the full text of the km.idaeo.ai press release of 2026-10-26 (washinmura#3586520).

Three Perspectives on the Same Event

• Shops and readers: the four language versions can be downloaded free from the book page, and the only step needed before commercial use is crediting the book under CC BY 4.0 [F-001][F-002]; this card does not assess how well the book's methods work.
• Source reviewers: the request figures were recorded by Cloudflare but the dashboard is not public, and the 20,000-plus websites are the author's own statement; the same party's blog and PR TIMES releases can only check identity and cannot be upgraded to independent verification [F-004][F-006][F-011][F-012].
• Researchers: this is a case of an author using his own website's request counts to check the book's conclusions and releasing the book free under CC BY 4.0; research citations should keep the period, the platform scale, the possible duplicates before Aug 24 and the limit that reading is not training, plus the 2.82 million own Cloudflare AI Search requests the book says will be deducted [F-003][F-004].
