The 60 Percent Problem

An editorial on why the majority of AI-sourced citations do not come from the Google top ten, and what that means for publishers still optimizing for the old surface. The hidden sixty percent is where authority actually lives — invisible to ranking tools, visible to answer engines.

Forthcoming edition

Essay 03 · The category pivot In production

From SEO to AEO — The Pivot

An editorial account of the category pivot from ranking optimization to citation publishing. What changed, what did not, and how a small institutional publisher can lead a category with structure rather than volume. A companion argument to Essay 01.
