AI Visibility
LLM visibility
LLM visibility is a sampled observation of whether and how a named entity, claim or resource appears in outputs from declared LLM-mediated products.
What it means
A defensible result states the products, queries, locales, dates, repetitions and matching rule. The observation can describe mentions, citations or source links, but it is not a stable rank, market-wide probability, provider authority score or explanation of why an output appeared.
Why it matters
Sample-bound reporting reveals changes and gaps while preventing volatile outputs from being presented as deterministic performance.
Example
A brand is mentioned in 9 of 40 recorded outputs across two named products, cited in 3 and linked in 2; the report preserves each denominator and does not combine them into authority.
Common mistakes
Do not hide the sample, merge mentions with citations, compare different query sets, infer provider preference, publish a causal score or promise future appearances.
How AYSA handles this
Signals reviewed
declared product, query set, locale, timestamp, mention, citation, source link
Problem AYSA can identify
AYSA can identify missing denominators, mixed outcome types, incomparable samples and causal claims unsupported by observations.
Recommendation prepared
The measurement plan locks the sample definition and reports mentions, citations and links separately.
Approval preview
The reviewer sees prompts, products, sampling rules, matching logic, exclusions and non-causal interpretation.
Execution
AYSA can capture supported public observations and calculate declared sample metrics; it cannot influence provider outputs.
Verification
Raw records reconcile to every reported numerator and denominator, with reruns versioned as new windows.
Limits
The evidence is operational and sample-bound; it does not automatically certify AI Act or legal compliance, and applicable Article 50 duties require a separate role-and-use assessment from 2 August 2026.
