Topic Entities
How AI engines parse, disambiguate, and map your brand into structured knowledge nodes.
LLMs don’t rank pages; they resolve entities, attributes, and relationships. When brand definitions wobble across disconnected URLs, model confidence drops and your entity gets omitted from generative summaries. The Topic Entity Framework organizes your site around discrete, verified knowledge nodes through three stages: Define, Structure, and Reinforce.
Information Gain
Why duplicate content is mathematically invisible to RAG and how net-new data forces retrieval.
If an AI model can synthesize your content entirely from its pre-trained weights without fetching your page, your document is dead weight. Signal requires genuine information gain: primary research, proprietary benchmarks, and self-contained ~250-word logical chunks that force a RAG system to pull your URL into its context window during multi-hop queries.
Consensus Moats
Corroborating factual claims across independent source nodes to build external entity authority.
You cannot declare your own authority to an LLM. Answer engines do not rely on trust; they validate claims through independent triangulation. When trade publications, analyst reviews, and community discussions independently align on your entity across diverse contexts, the model registers factual consensus. That consensus is your generative moat.
Measurement
Tracking presence across probability distributions with multi-dimensional prompt portfolios.
An AI response is an observation sampled from a probability distribution, not a static SERP slot. Treating prompt tracking like rank tracking produces expensive illusions of precision. We replace rigid Cochran tiers with broad, multi-dimensional portfolios, versioned Control/Discovery pools, and strict separation between Presence (Mention Rate), Recommendation, and Citation Share.
