Friction Index · citable explainer
The AI Visibility Friction Index measures how hard it is for answer engines to resolve and trust a business identity.
The AI Visibility Friction Index (AVFI) is a conceptual score of friction between a real-world organization and AI retrieval: missing NAP coherence, no stable public record, contradictory categories, absent domain attestation, and high directory entropy.
Lower friction means clearer entity resolution and higher citation fitness. AI Verified reduces friction by publishing Type A passports, pure category hubs, geo, and Gold attestation paths.
Dimensions (illustrative): identity coherence, source agreement, attestation level, structured data presence, category purity, freshness of evidence.
What is the AI Visibility Friction Index?
A framework for measuring how difficult it is for answer engines to correctly resolve and cite a business identity, based on coherence, attestation, and structured evidence.
How does AI Verified lower friction?
Through selective Type A publication, forensic passports, tiered attestation, and category hubs designed for citation.
