AEO Research & AI Visibility Benchmarks
The Charles Brian International research program is designed to make AI visibility measurable without dressing hypotheses up as findings. Every asset states what was observed, what was curated and what remains methodological.
RESEARCH PLATFORM
Evidence Classes
OBSERVED
Directly measured
Results from a documented study with a defined sample, collection window, test protocol and limitations. No observed benchmark is currently published.
CURATED
Assembled with provenance
Datasets or taxonomies compiled from public evidence and buyer research, with source lineage and inclusion rules.
METHODOLOGICAL
Designed, not yet executed
Frameworks and measurement systems published before a benchmark is run. They are never presented as market findings.
RESEARCH PLATFORM
Open Research Assets
240buyer questions
24AEO metrics
12industry scorecards
30protocol fields
Buyer Question Atlas
A filterable-in-CSV corpus spanning 12 research-intensive B2B industries.
AEO Metric Dictionary
Definitions and guardrails for presence, recommendation, citation and stability measurement.
Research Data Library
Download every versioned CSV and the machine-readable asset manifest.
RESEARCH PLATFORM
Observed Client Evidence
Observed evidence is now available
The research library's methodological and curated assets remain distinct from a newly published blinded client case. The case reports three separate measurement sets, their methods and their limitations.

Research Programs
METHOD
AI Visibility Index
A transparent model for measuring presence, recommendation, framing and citation patterns.
METHOD
Industry benchmarks
Cross-category studies built around the questions and evidence standards unique to each vertical.
METHOD
Buyer-question datasets
Documented prompt families for discovery, comparison, implementation, risk and procurement.
METHOD
Recommendation studies
Repeatable tests for who appears, how brands are framed and how stable answers remain.
CURATED
Source evidence taxonomy
A provenance-led classification system for owned, earned, platform and buyer-generated evidence.
BRIEFS
Executive research briefs
Decision-ready synthesis for marketing, product and revenue leaders.
RESEARCH PLATFORM
Publication Standard
Every release will disclose
- Research question and commercial relevance
- Population, sample and collection dates
- Models, surfaces and prompt protocol
- Scoring rules, exclusions and confidence limits
- Source provenance and known limitations
Every release will avoid
- Synthetic scores presented as observed facts
- Unspecified prompts or cherry-picked outputs
- Cross-model claims from a single surface
- Rankings without a reproducible method
- Commercial conclusions the data cannot support
Next Useful Step
Bring A Category Question Worth Measuring
Start with the commercial decision, evidence and measurement conditions that matter most. The first recommendation will define the most useful scope before any larger commitment.
