Snapshot answers "what." Audit answers "what, in what order, and how."
Most B2B companies and founders are invisible to AI systems and do not know it. They publish content. They optimize for search. They build authority signals. AI still cannot explain what they do.
The Audit tests your entity against the seven structural layers that determine whether AI systems see you, understand you, and recommend you. It identifies every active failure. It sequences the fixes in the order they must be addressed. It provides the Implementation Kit your team executes against.
The pattern across 50+ B2B companies audited is consistent: the failure is structural rather than editorial. Identity fragments. Semantics drift. Content reads well and extracts badly. The Audit names every break and shows the dependency order.
Same diagnostic. Different Implementation Kit. $4,500 either way.
The Algorithmic Authority Stack diagnoses companies and founders with identical methodology. What differs is the subject and the Implementation Kit. The buyer selects the track at intake.
Company Track
Buyers hire the firm. AI needs to recognize the company as a category entity. Internal teams or agency partners execute the Implementation Kit.
Surfaces tested: homepage, About page, LinkedIn company page, directory listings, press mentions. Internal data: Google Search Console, Bing, Google Analytics.
Kit focus: schema, content retrofit, crawler access, semantic anchors, surface reconciliation. Eight components.
Founder Track
Buyers hire you, not a company. Solo founders, fractional executives, category creators. AI needs to recognize the person as an expert entity.
Surfaces tested: LinkedIn profile, personal site, podcast guest bios, conference speaker bios, newsletter About page, X bio.
Kit focus: profile rewrites, bio templates, content extraction, podcast outreach, engagement rotation. Ten components.

Tools extract. Humans analyze. Pattern matching produces sequencing.
The Audit applies the proprietary 7-layer Algorithmic Authority Stack diagnostic framework to your entity using a combination of browser automation, data pipeline processing, custom analytical methodology, and orchestration tooling.
Why this produces what tool-only outputs cannot
Tools extract data at scale across AI platforms, search performance systems, surface content, structured data implementations, and third-party corroboration sources. Human analysis interprets the extracted signals against the Algorithmic Authority Index and against 50+ B2B companies audited across five industries and three AI platforms.
Pattern matching against that dataset produces the sequencing logic: which layer is breaking first, which fixes unblock which other fixes, and what your profile shares with entities that have closed similar gaps. This sequencing is the diagnostic IP. It is the reason the Audit is a fundamentally different deliverable from any tool-only output.
Interactive Dashboard. Password-protected. Yours for the engagement.
Audit buyers who want a navigable presentation of the findings beyond the PDF receive a custom-URL dashboard hosted on Netlify. Executive Summary panel. Share of Model dashboard with per-platform breakdown and trend lines. Layer-by-layer status grid (red/yellow/green with click-through to detail). Competitive comparison interactive grid. Implementation Kit downloads in one place.
The dashboard creates a re-engagement surface at the 90-day mark. When Share of Model is re-measured, the dashboard updates with before-and-after data. Some buyers prefer the PDF. Some prefer the dashboard. Both are included.
90-day Share of Model re-run. Free follow-up if no measurable improvement.
The structural commitment, in writing.
The Tier 1/2/3 confidence system in the report flags where my confidence is high and where additional data would sharpen the diagnosis. Tier 3 findings are explicitly flagged as "deeper diagnosis required."
If your team ships the recommended fixes and sees no measurable structural improvement at 90 days, I run a follow-up diagnostic at no additional cost to identify what was missed. The 90-day Share of Model re-run is the structural feedback loop.
The commitment covers structural changes that survive model updates. AI platforms incorporate structural changes on their own cadence. The diagnosis is what I control. The methodology is reviewed quarterly to keep diagnostic accuracy strong.

Quick call to confirm scope, track selection, and turnaround. No sales pressure.
Direct answers. No marketing softening.
The version of the conversation that would happen if we were already on a call together.
Why $4,500 when I can hire a fractional CMO for the same money?
You can. A fractional CMO is the right partner for ongoing marketing execution across all channels. The Audit is the diagnostic that tells them what to execute on AI visibility specifically. The two run together. Many of the AAPN partners I work with are fractional CMOs who use the Audit to inform the work they do for their clients. Hire your fractional CMO. Buy the Audit. They run together.
Is the Audit just an SEO audit dressed up in AI language?
No. SEO audits look at how Google ranks pages. The Audit looks at how AI systems classify, retrieve, and cite entities. The Stack diagnoses seven structural layers that have no SEO equivalent: identity resolution, expertise architecture, semantic density, training-ready content, touchpoint presence, trust signals, and visibility measurement. SEO fundamentals correlate with AI visibility. Keyword and link-building tactics do not. You can have a perfect SEO audit and still be invisible to AI.
What if your Audit findings are wrong?
The 90-day Share of Model re-run is the accuracy check. If your team ships the recommended fixes and sees no measurable structural improvement at 90 days, I run a follow-up diagnostic at no additional cost to identify what was missed. This is a structural component of the Audit, written into how the engagement works. The Tier 1/2/3 confidence system also flags up front where my confidence is high and where additional data would sharpen the diagnosis.
Three weeks is too long. Can you do it faster?
3 weeks is the right length for genuine depth. Faster compresses analysis time and risks lower quality. Rush turnaround available at +50% fee ($6,750 for 10 business days). Beyond that, the diagnosis loses the depth that justifies the price.
Do I need to buy the Snapshot first?
No. You can buy the Audit directly. The Snapshot is the entry-level diagnostic for buyers who want to verify they have a problem before committing $4,500. If you already know AI is not naming you and you want the full diagnosis, skip the Snapshot. If you bought the Snapshot first, the fee applies as full credit toward the Audit within 30 days.
I have an in-house SEO team. Can't they do this?
If they have the Algorithmic Authority Stack methodology, the Index pattern library, the multi-tool extraction workflow, and diagnostic experience across 50+ B2B companies, yes. Most in-house teams have none of these. The Audit produces the diagnostic. Your SEO team executes the fixes from the Implementation Kit. That is the right division of labor.
What does the Implementation upgrade actually include?
Implementation runs at $4,000 per month across a 90-day initial term ($12,000), then continues month to month at the same rate with 30 days notice to stop. Baseline scope: Maria's team ships the highest-priority Implementation Kit components. Schema deployment. Layer 1 surface reconciliation. Top 5 content retrofits (Company Track) or profile rewrites plus content production (Founder Track). Crawler access verification. Share of Model re-measurement at month 3. Modules attach to any month at defined prices for expanded scope.
