How AIIStack handles evidence

AIIStack tracks AI company intelligence without selling rank. These answers explain where claims come from, what scores mean, and where the data boundary sits.

Is AIIStack ranking paid or sponsored?

No. Companies cannot pay to change a public score, leaderboard position, market placement, or comparison result. Paid plans cover workspace capabilities, not editorial treatment or ranking.

What does “source-backed” mean on AIIStack?

Material company changes are tied to attributable evidence, a capture date, and a confidence level. When evidence is incomplete, AIIStack shows the gap instead of filling it with an unsupported claim.

How does AIIStack calculate company scores?

Scores normalize documented signals within a relevant cohort and use a versioned model. Each score is shown with confidence and coverage context; it is an intelligence indicator, not an absolute verdict on company quality.

What is AI visibility tracking?

AI visibility measures whether a company appears in answers to a documented panel of buyer-intent prompts. It describes a specific model panel and time period—not a company’s global rank across every AI answer engine.

Can a company correct its AIIStack profile?

Yes. A company can claim or correct a profile by supplying evidence. AIIStack keeps company-verified claims distinct from observed facts and preserves the source history behind material changes.
