Insurance against third-party narrative

Don't let AI reinvent your brand with your competitors' data.

AI visibility isn't a stable state: only 30% of brands keep it from one prompt iteration to the next. Without structured proprietary signals, AI invents your identity from fragments — often your competitors'. AI Governance is the maintenance contract that protects the asset you've built.

Direct answer · AEO-ready

What is AI Governance, and who is it for?

It's a structured set of recurring audits that protects a brand's visibility in generative AI answers. It's aimed at brands that are already visible — those that have built a measurable AI presence and want to preserve it against stochastic erosion. Unlike growth offers, it doesn't seek to raise the KVS score, but to prevent its fall. Six pillars are audited at mandated frequencies.

The problem no one names

Silence doesn't exist in an AI. Invention does.

When a brand emits no structured signals, AI doesn't stay silent: it fills the gaps with whatever data is available — competitors', sector media, forums. That's the third-party narrative: your brand told by others, in the one space your future clients go to search.

The mandated grid

Six governance pillars, six audit frequencies.

Each pillar answers a documented erosion risk. Each frequency is calibrated on the thresholds proven by 2026 research.

Pillar 1 · Substantial freshnessQuarterly

Updating critical data

Figures, statistics, prices, dates. 70% of cited sources are under 12 months old; quarterly updates keep citation probability above 85%.

Pillar 2 · Entity consistencyHalf-yearly

NAP audit & bio synchronisation

Name, address, phone, descriptions, expert bios. Any cross-source divergence is read as a low-reliability signal by RAG models. Internal threshold: 70% consistent brand detection.

Pillar 3 · RAG architectureAnnual

Schema.org validation

Organization, Person, VideoObject, ImageObject, sameAs property. The technical backbone evolves with the models; the annual audit catches regressions and new types to integrate.

Signature
Pillar 4 · Probabilistic monitoringMonthly

Multi-run 7/8 + RBO (p = 0.9)

The core of governance. KVS recomputed each month: 7 brand runs, 8 source runs, standard error under 0.10. Jaccard and RBO indices to detect volatility before it becomes erosion.

Pillar 5 · Off-site credibilityQuarterly

Community-mention monitoring

Reddit, specialised forums, YouTube. 48% of AI citations come from these third-party sources: that's where the third-party narrative forms — so that's where it must be watched and corrected.

Anticipation
Pillar 6 · llms.txt (eligible sites)Annual

llms.txt consistency check

Adopted by Anthropic, Cloudflare, Yoast, AIOSEO in 2026, not yet validated by Google or OpenAI. Offered to content-heavy sites only (authority blog, documentation, complex e-commerce), with the "unproven" status flagged.

Two ways in

One-off audit or maintenance contract?

The annual audit diagnoses. The recurring plan maintains. Both protect against the third-party narrative, at different levels of commitment.

Difference from SEO + AEO and Full Stack Growth: those plans grow your visibility. AI Governance maintains the visibility you've already built. The two are complementary — one without the other leaves a leg missing.

Frequently asked questions.

Why a "maintenance" tier when I already have a Growth plan at €2,990?+

The SEO + AEO and Full Stack Growth plans aim at growth: they raise your KVS score. AI Governance aims at conservation: it protects the acquired asset against stochastic erosion. The two can coexist for a mature client, or follow one another once growth is done.

When does the one-off audit suffice? When do you need the recurring plan?+

The €2,400 one-off audit suffices for a snapshot before a structuring event (fundraising, M&A, redesign, crisis) or to validate an internal plan. The €1,890/mo recurring plan is needed to detect and correct drift continuously: AI visibility moves every day, and an annual audit leaves 11 months of blind spot.

Why is llms.txt listed under "Anticipation"?+

The standard is widely adopted in 2026 (Anthropic, Cloudflare, Yoast, AIOSEO) but has not been validated as a citation factor by Google or OpenAI. Near-zero implementation cost, plausible but unproven gain. We offer it to content-heavy sites only, with the "unproven" status clearly flagged. Distinguishing proven / anticipation / discarded is itself a signal of expertise.

What happens if my KVS drops during the recurring plan?+

An automatic alert fires as soon as a drift greater than 10 points is detected: diagnosis within 5 working days, corrective plan within 10. The goal isn't zero fluctuation (AI visibility is stochastic) but zero undetected structural erosion.

Protecting the asset beats rebuilding it.
