The Lab

We run this site as a public GEO experiment. The Lab shows, in real and dated numbers, whether the LLMs cite us, which AI crawlers fetch us, how we score against our own GEO checklist, and which experiments we are running on ourselves. Where a measurement has not landed yet, we say so — never a fabricated zero.

North Star: are the LLMs citing us?

Our one number that matters. Each run asks a fixed prompt set to four grounded LLMs and checks whether they cite or mention us. dataset

Traffic

We measure traffic with self-hosted, cookieless Plausible (no cookie banner, no third-party). Public 30-day highlights — unique visitors, top pages, top referrers — will surface here once a read-only stats key is wired; until then we don't print numbers we can't yet source on this page.

What we've published

9 live articles · 6 glossary terms. Each one is a controlled sample in the experiment above.

Methodology & data

Every figure here is dated and traceable to a published dataset. The raw numbers are at /datasets/citation-rate.json and /datasets/ai-crawlers.json; a machine-readable summary is at /lab.md. How we test: methodology.
