Our work · what we hand you

Every deliverable, up close.

See the actual audits, reports, and content we ship — the real layouts and the real rigor, with a walkthrough film inside each block as it renders.

Illustrative where labelled — Forgeline CI, Vektrid and the example-audit brands are fictional sample clients; every figure carries its method. The live Index leaderboard in the measured strip is the one measured element on this page.

The real thing — figures, film, and the full example.

One block per deliverable: the artifact itself, a short walkthrough film, and a link to the complete example. Nothing important is hidden behind a form.

Measured, not promised.

Every number here is measured the same way — across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, and Grok — and we publish the method.

Share of model is the headline of the seven KPIs we score — with % citing your URL and % naming your brand right behind it. The full scorecard and the how live on the methodology page.

Every engagement starts from the same measured picture: when AI recommends a tool in your category, who it actually names — by share-of-model across all five engines, with 95% intervals and its date. Here's a live one from our AI Visibility Index.

Take the data with you

Your data, yours to keep — export everything to CSV or JSON anytime, no lock-in. Every deliverable — the audit, the monthly report, the QBR, the case study — ships with its data as a tidy CSV + JSON, source-labelled (what we measured vs your own numbers). And our AI Visibility Index is open data: download any category as CSV or JSON under CC BY 4.0.
