An AI writes the most common version of your brand, and you never see the draft

Brand mentions correlate with AI visibility roughly three times more strongly than backlinks, which puts the biggest brand lever off your site entirely.

  • An engine that meets two versions of the same number trusts neither, so I keep every citable figure in one tested source of truth and the build fails when any surface drifts.
  • The machine needs a who it can verify. My identity resolves through Wikidata and ORCID, and a 15 million data point dataset across 3,445 roles and 81 cities sits under a DOI so figures trace to their origin.
  • I measure the description engines give of my own work. The published probe reads zero, which is what a starting line looks like when you count instead of assume.
