Should we fund an AI visibility pilot?
Three tools that answer it in order: whether you track the questions buyers really ask, whether your evidence supports a commercial case, and what the smallest owned experiment would cost.
- ProvenanceEvery finding points back to a line you supplied.
- No invented numbersSearch volumes, revenue and attribution are never estimated.
- On this deviceNothing leaves the page unless you connect your own model.
Fund the smallest pilot your evidence supports, and only after two checks.
First, confirm the prompts you monitor are questions buyers actually ask, not supplier-generated filler.
Then see whether answer presence, referrals and customer reports move together, without assigning revenue to citations.
Price a bounded pilot with named owners, review dates and stop criteria, or document the decision not to buy.
Three checks before anyone signs a retainer.
The buyer asks“Can we decide this without a supplier in the room?”
Each tool runs in your browser on what you enter. Example inputs use fictional brands; replace them with your own.
Bring your own model for the write-up.
The checks are deterministic and run without AI. To draft a narrative from each tool’s prompt, connect a model you already pay for, or copy the prompt into one.

A mention is not a recommendation. A citation is not a conversion.
Provenance
Every decision, signal and cost line carries a reference to the input line it came from, so a reviewer can check it.
Denominators
Rates show their numerator and denominator. Answers that were not collected are excluded, never counted as absence.
Separation
Customer-derived and inferred prompts, observed signals and attribution assumptions, cash and staff time are kept apart.
Your call
The tools draft decisions and criteria. Thresholds, priorities and the final approval stay with the people who own them.
