Strategic audits for the AI era

Same deck quality as McKinsey, BCG, Bain, and Big 4. One percent of the price. Plus the categories they have not built.

Audit Engine compresses the six week, $50K to $500K strategic diagnostic into a productized output that ships in days. Eleven audit categories, including the AI native ones incumbents have not productized: GEO, agent readiness, AI surface posture, AI adoption opportunity.

The wedge

Four AI native categories incumbents cannot productize

Read the rubrics →

MBB firms cannot price down without cannibalizing their billable model and cannot ship fast enough to define the methodology for AI native audit categories. Audit Engine owns the methodology layer.

Generative Engine Optimization

GEO

Visibility in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini answers. 0 to 100 score across coverage, citation quality, position, share of voice, sentiment.

Can third party AI agents transact with the business

Agent Readiness

Schema completeness, llms.txt, AI crawler permissions, MCP manifest, transactional endpoints. The dimension no incumbent has productized.

Brand consistency across AI surfaces

AI Surface Posture
