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.
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.
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.

average sector Gini coefficient. AI visibility is winner-take-most: leaving the top pack is almost irreversible.
Each pillar answers a documented erosion risk. Each frequency is calibrated on the thresholds proven by 2026 research.
Figures, statistics, prices, dates. 70% of cited sources are under 12 months old; quarterly updates keep citation probability above 85%.
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.
Organization, Person, VideoObject, ImageObject, sameAs property. The technical backbone evolves with the models; the annual audit catches regressions and new types to integrate.
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.
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.

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

The asset-maintenance contract. The 6 pillars audited at their mandated frequency, monthly monitoring, drift alerts.
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.
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.
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.
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.
