AI Authority Blueprint

Glossary

AI Authority Blueprint™

Third Hemisphere™'s full report on one company. It measures all five factors on questions that name the company as well as its market's buyer questions, checks what the engines say against a locked base of verified facts, and ends in a plan to improve the company's standing.

What it tells a buyer or a marketer

The Blueprint is for a company that wants to know exactly what AI engines say about it and what to do next. It asks the engines about the company by name as well as on its market's buyer questions, so it reads both how the company is found and how it is described once it is.

Every claim the engines make is checked against a base of facts confirmed with the company, so the report separates what the engines get right from what they get wrong, and names the sources behind each.

How it relates to the AI Authority Index™

The Index measures a whole market on its buyer questions. The Blueprint measures one company in depth on the same five factors, so its findings can be read against the company's place on the Star Chart™. A Blueprint is a private report to the company that commissions it.

A company that has already run the free AI Authority Check™ can read the Blueprint as the full version of the same reading: the Check gives the direction, and the Blueprint gives the detail and the plan.

What it leads to

The Blueprint ends in a plan: the sources to earn coverage in, the facts to correct, and the pages to make readable, ordered by what each is expected to move. The CRISP™ methodology publishes how the factors are collected and scored.

Because it reads the company by name, the Blueprint also shows how the engines describe the company's products, people, and record to a buyer who already knows the name, which is the second half of a decision, after the shortlist.

Related terms

The Blueprint goes further than the free AI Authority Check on the same five CRISP factors. Its findings on Source and Influence point at the company's own site and at the third-party sources the engines cite, which are the two places most of its plan is carried out.
