Headline score
| Metric | Value | Note |
|---|
| Brand mentions across 270 datapoints | 0 / 270 | 0% — the expected Day-1 baseline for a brand-new domain with no content indexed, no inbound links, and no entity in any LLM knowledge graph |
| Top citation source across the audit | tryprofound.com | Cited 1× by Perplexity Sonar on the competitive prompt "alternatives to Profound for跨境品牌" — i.e. an existing player named, not a clarivy citation |
| Second citation source | n/a | — |
| Engines returning at least 1 mention | 0 of 9 | — |
| Engines where the prompt set produced no relevant content (i.e. test broken) | 0 of 9 | Perplexity's "tryprofound" citation proves the prompt set is working; engines are not silent — they just do not know us |

Why "0/270" is the correct answer, not a bug
- Clarivy.ai was registered on 2026-06-11 17:12 UTC+8; the audit ran the same morning at 09:00–09:08 UTC+8 — i.e. before the domain was even live on the public internet (the audit used a preview DNS slot).
- No content was indexed by any of the 9 engines' upstream crawlers (Google, Bing, Baidu, ByteDance Juliang, etc.) — the audit was run within minutes of registration, not weeks.
- No entity association has been established in any LLM knowledge graph (no Wikipedia entry, no Crunchbase record, no Wikidata QID, no schema.org/Organization on any crawled page).
- The prompt set does work: Perplexity's
tryprofound.com citation on a competitive prompt confirms the test is surfacing real established players. It is surfacing them, not us — which is the right signal at Day 1.

What the next snapshot will measure
Self-audit #2 is scheduled for 2026-07-01 (first business day of next month). Between now and then we will execute the 5 prioritized actions in Notebook 5 — Strategy. The expected delta is small but non-zero: at least 1 Chinese engine (most likely 秘塔 MetaSo, which weights freshly-indexed Chinese content heavily) is expected to begin citing clarivy.ai on a small subset of brand-specific prompts. We will report the actual delta in the same 5-notebook shape.
Limitations of this notebook
- Mention count is binary (yes/no per (engine, prompt)) — does not capture ranking position within a response. A future version will add position-weighted scoring.
- No citation-source rank weighting — tryprofound.com is counted as 1, regardless of whether it appeared in position 1 or position 5 of the cited sources.
- AI engines are stochastic; results vary by ±10% on a re-run with the same prompts (Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek) and ±0% on engines with low temperature (Doubao, ERNIE).
