Active Lines of Inquiry
ARDI™ Discovery Studies
Field research from the ARDI™ Research Center documenting which brands AI cites, recommends, or excludes in AI-generated answers. Every observation maps to the Four Authority States and Two-Path Presence frameworks that drive client engagement.
View ResearchAI Model Behavior Observations
Documented observations of how large language models interpret prompts, resolve entity ambiguity, weigh source authority, and construct brand narratives. Reveals the mechanics behind why AI says what it says, and how that shapes perception.
View ResearchReal-World AI Failures
Case studies where AI responses are inaccurate, misleading, or contextually incorrect, and what they reveal about model limitations, brand risk, and the cost of leaving AI perception unmanaged.
