Fixed-price audit · Two weeks · Booked one brand at a time

AI models have formed beliefs about your brand. Do you know what they are?

Every day, assistants answer questions about your ingredients, your health claims, your controversies — and decide whether you're the answer to your category's problems. They do it with confidence, at scale, from sources nobody in your building has audited. The Agentic Shelf Audit shows you exactly what models believe, where every belief comes from, and how to change it.

The two questions

Nobody asks an AI to "recommend your brand." It doesn't matter.

Buyers use assistants in two ways that decide your revenue anyway: they ask for solutions to problems — and a brand is the answer. Or they name your brand and ask for a verdict — and the model delivers one. The audit measures both.

Question one · Presence

Are you in the answer?

"Best breakfast for a diabetic." "What helps atopic skin in winter." "Which formula for a colicky baby." Nobody names a brand — but every answer contains brands. We measure your Share of Answer: how often you appear at your category's entry points, how favorably, and who owns the default answer instead.

Question two · Belief

Is what they say about you true?

"Is that immunity claim real?" "Does it contain palm oil?" "Is it ultra-processed?" Models judge your brand daily — synthesizing studies, regulator decisions, forums, and stale product data into confident verdicts. We inventory and grade every belief in the Model Belief Report.

Why now

Models don't just recommend. They adjudicate.

One verdict

Search gave you ten links and let the buyer decide. An assistant hands down a single confident judgment — on your claims, your ingredients, your controversies — and the buyer takes it as read. The agent is now the user, and it doesn't read marketing.

Unaudited sources

Every model belief has a supply chain: retailer product data, Wikipedia, health portals, forums, old press. Nobody at your company has ever audited it — which means nobody is managing it.

Compounding

Beliefs models hold today feed the answers they give for years, and what they learn now hardens with every training cycle. Wrong beliefs are cheapest to fix while they're still forming.

Scope · Six lenses

What the audit actually inspects

A structured battery of real buyer queries — problem, interrogation, and comparison — run across the major assistants and agents, then traced back through the machine side of your presence to explain why the answers come out the way they do.

01 · Share of Answer

Are you the answer to your category's problems?

Problem and occasion queries built from your category's real entry points, run across leading assistants. We measure where you appear, how favorably, in whose company — and which competitors own the default answer.

02 · Belief inventory

What do models assert about you?

Every factual and evaluative belief models hold about your brand, extracted into a graded ledger — each weighted by severity and how entrenched it is across models:

03 · Claim adjudication

Do your claims survive the model's judgment?

Your full claim register — on-pack, on-site, in-campaign — tested claim by claim against model verdicts: upheld, hedged, rejected, or reversed onto a competitor. Including where models over-claim on your behalf, a legal exposure most brands have never seen.

04 · Comparability

How do you survive a head-to-head?

When an agent builds a comparison, someone decided which attributes matter. We test agent-constructed comparisons against named competitors and private label — and identify the missing proof points that cost you the verdict.

05 · Actionability

Can an agent actually buy from you?

The full agentic path on your owned channels and key retail listings: find, parse, basket, checkout. Every stall, misread, and abandonment is a documented revenue leak — often rerouted straight to a competitor. This is the commerce edge of agentic experience design.

06 · Source graph

Where does every belief come from?

Priority beliefs traced to their sources — retailer data, knowledge bases, press, forums, your own inconsistent pages — each graded for authority, accuracy, and whether you can fix it. This is the map that turns findings into influence.

Who this is for

Built for brands whose claims do the selling

If your category is bought on trust in a claim — infant nutrition, supplements, functional foods and dairy, dermocosmetics, OTC, pet food, plant-based, bottled water — models are adjudicating those claims right now, and someone is winning the verdict. It's equally built for comparison-driven categories — appliances, baby gear, consumer electronics — where agent-built tables decide the purchase. Buyers: brand, e-commerce, and digital directors, plus the legal and comms leaders who discover mid-readout that this was their audit too.
