The Hierarchical dimension within Jason Barnard's Marketing Proof Dimensions framework. It provides tactics for engineering hierarchical proof signals: Recognition (seek awards, earn titles, document acknowledgments), Parentage (get cited as source, establish "coined by" attributions, create quotable content), and Connectivity (build relationships with authorities, co-create content, document collaborations).

Jason Barnard explains Marketing Hierarchical as WHAT TO DO for authority structure proof. Most experts HAVE hierarchical proof but don't document it: they're recognized but don't mention awards, they're cited but don't track it, they know authorities but aren't mentioned together. Tactics: Document your recognition. Get cited, not just mentioned. Co-create with authorities.

The philosophy (Proof Dimensions Hierarchical) explains WHY hierarchical proof matters. The technical (Indexing Annotation) explains HOW bots tag it. Marketing explains WHAT TO DO: engineer content that bots will tag with high hierarchical confidence. Every tactic maps to a bot annotation.
