RESEARCH
WHAT WE MEASURE,
AND WHAT WE FOUND.
Research here means two things: how we measure whether AI search systems retrieve, cite and recommend a company, and what the platforms actually document about their own crawlers. Each piece is dated, carries its sources, labels every claim, and states what it does not claim.
Newest first. A piece that goes out of date is re-verified and re-dated, never quietly edited.

AI Search Crawler Reference
Which crawlers and fetchers each AI search provider documents, what each one is for in the provider’s own words, how to verify that a request is genuine — and what is not documented at all. Every row carries a claim class, a source link and a verified date.

AI Visibility Methodology
How we measure whether AI search engines retrieve, cite and recommend a company: a seven-step chain, a seven-level ladder, frozen prompts, five claim classes — and the result the method returned when we pointed it at ourselves.
