Before a model ever reads your page, a retrieval system has already cut it into pieces. Those pieces — chunks — are the real unit that gets embedded, searched, and pulled into context. If a claim and the evidence that supports it land in different chunks, the claim arrives at the model orphaned.
This is a structural editing problem with no precedent in classical SEO. Pagination used to be about user patience; chunking is about epistemic completeness per fragment. Each retrievable span should be able to stand on its own.
Practically: front-load the claim, keep the qualifier adjacent, avoid burying the number three paragraphs from the assertion it quantifies. Write so that any single chunk, read alone, is still true.
