This section holds what any published measurement has to rest on: a protocol, the prompts, and a dated record of what was checked. It does not yet hold a dataset, and says so.

Research on this site means observations that someone else could reproduce: the prompts, the engines, the dates and the scoring rules are published with the result. As of October 4, 2026, no measurement has been made or published under this protocol. What is published is the framework a measurement must follow, so that any later result can be checked against rules written before it.

## What is here

- [Methodology](https://mohammedteto.com/research/methodology/) The conditions a measurement must meet before it is published on this site, and how it is scored and reported.
- [Prompt library](https://mohammedteto.com/research/prompt-library/) Families of prompts for observing how an entity is described, with numbered templates and wording rules.
- [Change log](https://mohammedteto.com/research/change-log/) A dated record of what provider documentation said when it was read for this site, and of changes to the method.

The vocabulary used across these pages is defined in the [glossary](https://mohammedteto.com/glossary/).

## What is not here

No observatory, no source study and no market benchmark is published. Each would require measurements collected under the methodology, and none has been made. No empty pages are created for them.

No case study is published either. A case would appear only if every claim in it had been verified and the client had agreed in writing.

No index or score is published. A single number that summarizes how AI systems represent an entity would need statistical validation that has not been done.

## How this differs from the rest of the site

The guides explain a subject and cite other people's research: the figures quoted in [AI visibility](https://mohammedteto.com/ai-visibility/#sources) and in [source and citation authority](https://mohammedteto.com/source-citation-authority/#measured) come from third parties, and each is given with its limits. [Insights](https://mohammedteto.com/insights/) collects analysis and working notes. This section is reserved for first-hand observation and for the rules that govern it.

The measurement method itself is explained in [AI search intelligence](https://mohammedteto.com/ai-search-intelligence/). Applied to one entity over time, it is the engagement described in [AI Reputation Intelligence](https://mohammedteto.com/ai-reputation-intelligence/). Both belong to [The Authority Architecture System](https://mohammedteto.com/method/), in its first and last layers.
