AI Intelligence Presence Assessment

Is the World's AI Finding You?

When a potential customer, investor, or partner asks an AI system a question about your industry — your competitors — your category — does your brand appear in the answer? For most organisations, the honest answer is: they don't know.

The AIPA tells you exactly where your brand stands in the AI information layer. Not an estimate. Not a projection. A structured measurement across the AI systems that now mediate how the world finds information — run in real time, with live web search active, so you know what AI is telling your customers today.

What We Measure

The Core System Battery

Every AIPA runs across four AI systems — the core battery that covers the broadest, most comparable slice of real-world AI usage.

ChatGPT

The largest consumer AI audience globally.

Claude

Broad professional and research usage.

Perplexity

The most citation-transparent system, showing sources natively.

Gemini

Google-integrated, critical for search-adjacent queries.

Every system is run with live web search active — not from training memory. This is what your customers experience when they ask AI about your brand today.

Conditional Add-Ons

Two additional systems are available where relevant. The default is always the core four.

Qwen

Added for brands with real Asia or China market exposure.

Grok

Added for consumer, social-heavy, or founder-led brands where X platform activity is a genuine buying or reputation signal.

The Methodology Edge

Why Live Web Search Matters

AI language models can draw from two sources: their training data — a historical snapshot, often months old — or live web retrieval, reflecting what is on the internet right now.

Running an assessment with web search off measures what the model remembered during training. That is not what your customer experiences. Axiom runs every query with live web search active across all systems — so results reflect actual current AI behaviour. The same experience your customers, investors, and partners are having today.

Every system is configured identically — web retrieval active, no memory, no personalisation — so results are comparable, repeatable, and reflect real customer experience.
How It Works

The 4-Step Process

1

Query Design

28 queries specific to your brand, category, and competitive landscape — spanning seven fixed types: Category Leadership, Brand Recognition, Operational Detail, Competitor Comparison, Purchase Intent, Perception & Sentiment, and Geographic & Market Presence. Four per type. Phrased in the real language of your sector.

2

System Run

Each query run across all core systems with live web search active. Every output assessed as Cited, Partial, or Absent. All 28 queries. Every system. No outputs skipped.

3

Cross-Check

Every outcome cross-checked against your live website to determine whether a gap is a Structural Gap — content that does not exist or cannot be found by AI crawlers — or Training Lag. The distinction changes the remedy.

4

Assessment & Report

Findings assessed across four modules in fixed sequence: Citation & Visibility, Entity & Schema, Content & Retrieval Accuracy, and Category Position. A verdict is confirmed. A report of up to 15 content pages is delivered.

The Verdict

The Five Visibility Bands

Undetected

No meaningful brand signal. Not named or cited unprompted across tested query types.

Recognised

Brand named in AI responses. Operational detail not reliably citable or often inaccurate.

Cited

Brand and key content appear with reasonable confidence. Gaps remain in accuracy and consistency.

Authoritative

Consistently cited across systems and query types with high accuracy. Minor gaps only.

Dominant

Primary cited source in the category across all core systems. Accurate, consistent, first-position.

Who This Is For

Any organisation that depends on brand recognition, customer trust, or competitive positioning.

Sector agnostic. Geography agnostic. If AI systems are answering questions your customers are asking, your brand has an AI presence — or it doesn't. The AIPA tells you which.

The Financial Rigour Advantage

Where visibility gaps have quantifiable revenue implications, Axiom incorporates chartered accountancy methodology to size them. You do not get estimates dressed as data. You get defensible numbers that a CFO can act on.
