Buyer question
Can the report explain why the client was missed, misclassified, under-cited, or beaten by a named competitor?
These public audit examples show the chain agencies need before selling AI visibility work: Presence, Preference, Perception, AI Readiness, and Share of Model are shown in the same order as the product, with each audit exposing AI Memory, Web Evidence, and the gap between both.
Premium outdoor drinkware, coolers, and gear
Positive · US outdoor drinkware buyer
Generative Brand Index
Low confidence
YETI remains well understood as a premium durability brand, but the report shows a sharp proof gap: AI can remember the brand, yet unbranded Presence is weaker when the buyer asks value-sensitive cooler and drinkware questions before naming YETI.

Web evidence lifts the answer
Derived from Presence occurrence plus Preference wins: YETI owns roughly two-thirds of measured answer space, with Web Evidence slightly improving the share.
GBI and remaining evidence gaps
Generative Brand Index
47 /100
Low confidence · 100% evidence coverage
Per-audit gap
Perception is nearly balanced, Preference improves with Web Evidence, and Presence still weakens once buyers ask unbranded value-led questions.
Commercial gap
The premium value story needs more extractable durability, warranty, insulation, and cost-per-use proof.
GBI gap
GBI is 47 because Presence still drags the index even though Share of Model is calculable from occurrence and Preference evidence.
Missing evidence:
Audit structure
Presence
Unbranded buyer prompts show whether the brand appears before the buyer names it.
Preference
Competitive prompts measure who gets picked, against which named alternatives, and why.
Perception
Named-brand prompts show how accurately AI describes, trusts, prices, and recommends the brand.
AI Readiness
Support evidence checks whether pages, schema, facts, and source blocks are reusable by answer engines.
Share of Model
Provider-level share evidence explains how often the brand earns answer space across the measured prompt set.
GBI + Missions
The Generative Brand Index rolls the evidence into an executive score and turns gaps into retestable missions.
Mission Control
Refresh AI Memory and Web Evidence
Perception, Preference, and Presence were rerun for the US outdoor drinkware buyer target.
Strengthen price/value proof
Publish extractable durability, warranty, insulation, and cost-per-use proof blocks.
Defend unbranded Presence
Create comparison-safe source blocks for cooler, tumbler, and bottle buyer prompts where competitors intercept the answer.
Retest same buyer context
Rerun the same target after source updates and compare Preference + Presence movement.
Retest plan
Retest the US outdoor drinkware buyer target after publishing price/value and durability proof blocks; watch whether grounded Preference stays above AI Memory and Presence closes the gap.
Client-ready artifact
The client does not need another vague AI score. They need to see the hidden pattern, the work your team will ship, and the exact retest target that proves movement next month.
