The problem now
A rate you cannot inspect
A percentage goes on a slide. By the time it turns out wrong, the board has already heard it. The vendor behind it answers no questions.
How we fix it
One person owns the whole chain
One person carries all four steps below, from the questions to the final read. We seal the conditions at run time.
What you can check
Every figure has an address
Every public figure goes into the claims registry with its source and date. A year later you can still pull the conditions behind it and ask the person who signed it.
One name across the chain
Measurement is the one thing you buy that you cannot inspect before you rely on it, so the accountability has to sit inside the process. Four steps, one signature.
Step 1
Query design
Which buyer questions we ask, and why those. The widest US panel puts 50 questions through 21 engines.
Step 2
Repeat runs
Every question runs 7 times. A reading we planned but could not take is printed as a count and stays in the denominator.
Step 3
The judging rule
One written rule decides whether an answer counts as citing your brand. Your competitors are read inside the same answers, under the same rule.
Step 4
Report review
The same person reads the report before it ships, and every public figure is checked against the claims registry.
50
buyer questions in the widest US panel

21
engines asked the same questions

7
runs of every question, so a figure is a measured rate
Rates come with their intervals
20
US surfaces read, competitors inside the same answers
Traceable in the claims registry
Korean and Japanese surfaces run natively on the same protocol, so a US brand entering either market keeps one standard instead of hiring three vendors. The same team then fixes what the reading points at: the pages, and the search, social and paid channels feeding them.

| What we do | We count how often a brand's name comes back in AI answers and in search results, under one definition, then fix what those numbers point at. Ranking work, answer-engine work, content, social and paid operations sit inside the same engagement. |
| How delivery runs | Fully asynchronous. Decisions land as written memos, briefings as recordings, questions and answers by email, so the record is part of what you buy. |
ARTIFEX Co., Ltd. runs CiteAngle from Seoul. The parent hub site is artiaudit.com, and CiteAngle is the brand under it for measurement and improvement.
Measurement lead
The representative of ARTIFEX Co., Ltd. is CiteAngle's measurement lead, and every figure they publish is checked against the claims registry.
The lead's background is brand-side, not agency-side. As AI Director at Korinto Co., Ltd. from July 2024 to 2025, the lead built an automated customer-inquiry response system for an outdoor apparel brand, put AI photography and virtual try-on into a commercial line, connected the stack to the e-commerce platform, and wrote a price-monitoring crawler. That work ended with a departure from the company, and its architecture is the skeleton of the pipeline running now.

The rule for publishing a figure
What we measured and what someone else published never get mixed. A figure without its conditions does not go out.
Korean, English and Japanese pages sit under one scope of responsibility.
