Research threads

Research index for 8 active or maintained technical research threads.

• AI Search Visibility / Entity Ownership: Research into how owned domains, structured data, answerable pages, canonical links, and proof surfaces make technical work easier to retrieve and cite accurately. Status: active research. Evidence: Public pages can show the domain architecture and source graph. Provider-specific discovery remains a research and monitoring problem.
• Crawler / Provider Comparison Research: Research into the reliability limits of internal crawlers and external providers across robots handling, sitemap recovery, rendering, WAF/challenge pages, and coverage gaps. Status: active research. Evidence: Public summaries describe the measurement boundary. Provider logs, private sites, and failed-run details may remain private.
• Search Rank Correlation Experiments: Measurement-design experiments testing whether Atlas-style technical scores correlate with local and B2B service-query ranking behavior. Status: active research. Evidence: The current public state is research framing. No conclusive ranking-causality claim is made here.
• Finance Research Archive: Structured archive for finance, valuation, market-structure, public-equity, AI infrastructure, fintech, crypto, semiconductor, and venture-style research. Status: maintained. Evidence: Public summaries and research-page references exist. Sensitive trading details and private analysis are not disclosed.
• GBP / Local Search Measurement Research: Research framing for measuring Google Business Profile strength, proximity, reviews, local packs, and local-service landing page fit. Status: active research. Evidence: Public summary only. No client-specific local ranking evidence is disclosed.
• Backlink / Directory / Brand Authority Measurement: Research into how backlinks, directories, brand mentions, and authority surfaces confound technical-score interpretation. Status: active research. Evidence: Public summary and method framing only.
• Schema Validation and Evidence Packaging Research: Research into JSON-LD, static fallback text, artifact manifests, route metadata, and client-safe evidence packaging. Status: active research. Evidence: The public site demonstrates route metadata, JSON-LD, sitemap, robots, llms.txt, and crawlable summaries.
• Challenge-Page / WAF / Render Contamination Research: Research into detecting when bot challenges, WAF interstitials, failed renders, or utility URLs contaminate crawl evidence. Status: active research. Evidence: The public state is a summary of the safety boundary.
