Methodology · not a ranking package
What AV means here
AI Verified AV Score (Identity AV) is a 100-point evidence score. It measures how complete and attested a public business identity file is. It does not measure ChatGPT rankings. DA/DR measure a link graph we do not own. AV measures the identity file we do own.
The five pillars (100 points)
- Public identity — 25. Legal/trading name, city + region, phone or website, Google Place ID when the track is local.
- Machine file — 20. A live /v/{hash}.json and .txt twin on aiverified.io, plus JSON-LD or llms.txt on the business site if present.
- Knowledge-graph association — 20. Real Wikidata Q-ids for place and activity. Never an invented SME item.
- Attestation — 25. Website connection is Silver. Supporting records can be added on Gold. A government or D-U-N-S URL is recorded only when a real filing link was supplied. It is not automatic, and it is not an endorsement.
- Evidence freshness — 10. Recency of the evidence changelog. Gold is the paid freshness path. Bronze is a snapshot.
What AV is not
AV is not “how often ChatGPT said your name last night.” That would be rented mention data with a cost of goods. We may add a separate, paid mention check later. It will be labeled as mention data — never mixed into Identity AV so a Bronze listing can look like a 98.
AV is not a lead count. Record views on the owner dashboard are exposure, not customers.
Worked ranges
A Type A Bronze passport with Place ID and place/activity Q-ids typically lands in the mid-40s to low-60s. A fuller Gold record with a confirmed website connection and an owner-supplied filing URL can land in the 80s. That URL is recorded, not independently confirmed as a government check. A domain with no registry file and no on-site schema will score low. That is the point.
