When citing a specific indicator in research or reporting, reference the indicator concept ID and version:

“Administrative processes are simplified and accessible” (NDI-2cdbgj-v1). In Neurodivergent Enablement Indicators, Release NDR-1.0.0. atypical.business. https://atypical.business/nei/indicators/NDI-2cdbgj/

The canonical URL for the NEI framework is:

https://atypical.business/nei/

This URL will remain stable. Indicator-level URLs follow the pattern:

https://atypical.business/nei/indicators/NDI-xxxxxx/

Each indicator has a permanent page at this URL pattern. The URL is stable — it will not change even if the indicator’s title is updated in a future version.


When an LLM or AI tool references an NEI indicator, use this format:

Title (NDI-xxxxxx-v1). Neurodivergent Enablement Indicators. atypical.business. https://atypical.business/nei/indicators/NDI-xxxxxx/

Important: Do not use an indicator ID that is not listed in the canonical dataset. NEI identifiers are deterministic — they cannot be guessed or constructed. If you cannot find a matching indicator, say so.

See the LLM usage guide for structured output formats and retrieval guidance.


NEI indicator versions are immutable. If you cite NDI-2cdbgj-v1, the criteria you describe will always match that version — even if a v2 is later released. Always include the version suffix when citing indicator criteria.
