AI Legibility Audit
Every company is becoming an AI company. Most brands have not caught up. Buyers now ask AI engines who to consider before they ever reach your site, and those engines describe you however they have learned to. The AI Legibility Audit measures how models currently understand, categorize, and recommend your company, and shows you exactly what to fix. Most OSMOS engagements start here.
What Is AI Legibility?
A brand people love and machines understand is legible to both. AI legibility is how accurately and how favorably AI engines can read your positioning, your category, your proof, and your differences, then repeat them back to a buyer. Structured positioning, machine-readable content, consistent language, and GEO foundations decide whether you are recommended, misdescribed, or left out. The audit gives you a clear score and a clear path, and the OSMOS Index sets the standard.
What the Audit Covers
The audit runs in the first weeks of every program, and is available on its own for companies that want to know where they stand before committing to a rebuild.
How AI Engines Describe You Today
We query the major models the way your buyers do and record what comes back: the category they place you in, the competitors they name beside you, the claims they attribute to you, and the ones they get wrong. The result is a plain read on the gap between how you talk about yourself and how the machines talk about you.
Structured Positioning and Content
We review whether your site, docs, and public footprint state the position clearly and consistently enough for a model to learn it: schema, entity data, naming, headings, and the language used across every surface.
SEO and GEO Foundations
Technical search health alongside generative engine optimization: crawlability, structured data, content architecture, and the signals AI engines use to decide whether you are a credible answer. We benchmark against the competitors the models already recommend.
Findings and Recommendations
A scored report, the gaps ranked by impact, and a prioritized plan. Some fixes are content and structure your team can ship in a week. Others point to positioning that needs to be sharpened before any machine can repeat it, which is where the full program begins.
Why Start Here
Assumptions kill brands. The audit replaces opinion with evidence before a dollar goes into strategy, identity, or the flagship. Three reasons companies run it first:
1. Be Found
Buyers ask AI engines for recommendations. The audit shows whether you are in the answer, and what it takes to get there.
2. Be Described Correctly
A model that puts you in the wrong category or beside the wrong competitors is costing you deals you never see. We find the errors and their source.
3. Build on Evidence
The findings feed directly into positioning, identity, and the flagship, so the full program starts from what the market and the machines already believe.
How Long Does the Audit Take?
The AI Legibility Audit runs in two to three weeks and can stand alone or open a full program. When it leads into strategy, identity, and the flagship, the whole program ships in 12 to 16 weeks at a fixed fee, with the audit repeated at launch so progress against the OSMOS Index is measured, not assumed.
