Evidence status: unknown. The source dataset and reproducible analysis for the proposed 500-site benchmark are not available with this page. The earlier figures and conclusions have therefore been withdrawn from public presentation rather than treated as evidence.

What the current product measures
Visibility Score checks 44 observable technical signals across findability, answer-friendly structure, citation-supporting structure and agent-friendly page structure. The A-to-F result is a conventional technical coverage band.
The structural score does not establish Google or Bing rankings, live mentions or citations in AI answer engines, traffic, enquiries, conversion, revenue or causality. Those outcomes require separate measurement.
What would be needed to restore a benchmark
A future benchmark would need a frozen sampling plan, dated source records, the exact scoring version, reproducible calculations, quality review and explicit uncertainty. Until that evidence exists, the benchmark result remains unknown.
