ORION v6.0.0 · Research Release

You're either in the answer, or you don't exist.

ORION asks ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity the questions your customers actually ask, then shows you their answers verbatim, tells you who got named instead of you, and shows you the exact pages they cited. Then it watches it change.

01 · The answer, verbatim

Same brand. Same day. Two questions.

Below are real answers from a real scan. One question makes this business the hero. The other never mentions them at all. Both were asked on the same afternoon, of the same engine, about the same company.

REAL SCAN · 14 July 2026, 12:48 SGT · live output from Perplexity · brand anonymised at their privacy, nothing else altered
Query "best sunset dinner cruise in Singapore"
PerplexityCITED
The [BRAND] Sunset Dinner Cruise is widely considered the best sunset dinner cruise in Singapore, offering a four-course meal on the open deck of a real tall ship with views of the Marina Bay skyline as the sun sets.

• Vessel: a functioning tall ship, not a motorised yacht.
• Views: marketed as the "best sunset table in Singapore."
• Price: around SGD 191 per person.
Named, cited, and quoted from their own page. This is the win.
Query "unique date night ideas in Singapore"
PerplexityNOT CITED
For a truly unique date night in Singapore, consider visiting a rooftop bee farm to taste rare honey varieties, or creating a glowing moss terrarium lamp together as a keepsake.

• Skyline Luge on Sentosa: race down illuminated tracks.
• Night Safari at Mandai: a night walk among nocturnal animals.
• Art jamming, pottery workshops, kayaking at Pulau Ubin.
A luxury tall-ship dinner under the stars. Not mentioned once.
A moss terrarium lamp beat them. Not because the engine dislikes them, and not because their website is bad. The engine built that answer out of Singapore listicles they simply are not on. No amount of work on their own site would have changed that answer. The only thing that changes it is knowing which pages the engine read.
02 · The citation funnel

Find out exactly where you fall out.

"Invisible in AI" is not one problem, it is four, and each one has a different fix. Guessing between them wastes months. These are the real numbers from that same scan: 12 engine responses across 5 questions.

Read it left to right. The engines went and searched, nearly every time. They named the brand in just over half the answers. But they only pulled a page from the brand's own website in 42% of them, and the specific page being checked was cited in 17%. So the brand is known, and largely quoted from other people's pages. That is a completely different problem from being unknown, and it has a completely different fix.

03 · Where the answer came from

The engines were reading. Just not you.

For the question they lost, here are the pages the engines actually cited to build the answer. Every one of them is a Singapore roundup this business is absent from, while their competitors are on it.

YOURS[brand].com.sgcited only for the sunset query
This is the list no score can give you. Five specific, named, gettable pages, each one a place the engine goes looking for this answer. Getting onto two of them is a week of work for one person. That is the difference between a metric and an instruction.
04 · The source gap

Sorted by what you can actually do about it.

ORION collects every page the engines cited, then buckets them by who controls the page. A non-marketer can act on this on a Monday morning without asking anyone's permission.

Owned · fix it yourself

Your own pages

The engines fetched your site and used it, but only for one question. Usually structure, not content: no direct answer near the top, no clean headings. Fastest win, needs nobody's approval.

Winnable · you can get listed

Roundups and directories

Third-party pages the engines lean on that take submissions and updates. In the real scan above, this was five named publications, and the brand was on none of them.

Rival · a competitor owns it

Someone else's page is the source

The engine treats a competitor's own content as the authority. You will not take that page. You can build the thing it does not cover.

05 · Monitoring

Then it watches, so you find out before your pipeline does.

AI answers are not stable. A model updates, a competitor gets added to a roundup, and the answer your buyer sees changes without a single thing changing on your site. A one-off audit cannot see that. ORION re-asks the same questions on a schedule and tells you the day it moves.

ILLUSTRATIVE · a one-off scan has no history yet. This is what the log looks like once it runs.
JUL 09You lost the answer. ChatGPT stopped naming you for "best sunset dinner cruise". A competitor took the slot.
JUL 02New citation. Perplexity began citing your packages page after the heading fix.
JUN 28A new source entered the answer: timeout.com is now cited by 3 of 4 engines.

This is the difference between a report and a product. A report tells you where you stood. A monitor tells you the morning you were replaced, while there is still time to do something about it.

The Five-Pillar Framework

Citability, measured five ways.

Every score decomposes into five pillars. Each has defined signals, a visible weight, and a reproducible calculation. These weights are read live from the scoring engine, so this page cannot disagree with the product.

01 · O1

Originality

Does this page say anything a model can't get elsewhere?

Weight 20%
02 · R

Retrievability

Can an engine actually fetch and parse it?

Weight 15%
03 · I

Information Extractability

Can a model lift a clean, self-contained answer out of it?

Weight 30%
04 · O2

Observed Visibility

Do engines actually cite it, when asked?

Weight 25%
05 · N

Notability

Does the wider web treat this source as real?

Weight 10%
Citability Readiness
O1 × 0.2 + R × 0.15 + I × 0.3 + O2 × 0.25 + N × 0.1
Weights are an expert prior, not an empirical result. They have not been fitted to outcome data.
Why it matters

SEO measured clicks. ORION measures citations.

When informational queries resolve inside an LLM answer, the click never happens. The new unit of distribution is the citation. ORION is the scorecard built for it.

The SEO era (1998 – 2024)

  • Rank for a keyword
  • Earn a click from a SERP
  • Count impressions and CTR
  • Measure what humans type into a search box
  • Optimize for crawlers that index pages

The Citability era (2025 →)

  • Be cited by an LLM answer
  • Earn the citation, the click is the answer
  • Count Observed Visibility across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity
  • Measure what humans ask in conversation
  • Optimize for retrievers that score chunks
Research Release · Honesty Gate

We're in Research Release, and we say so on every score.

Honest measurement is worth more than convenient marketing. Until ORION meets all four validation thresholds, every live score carries a Research Release disclosure.

Currently: Research Release

What has to be true before we call this calibrated.

The Honesty Gate

Until every one of these clears on held-out data, ORION does not call itself calibrated and does not call a score a probability. It is currently a research release, and every score says so.
