Authority Score (AS)

AVO’s predictive measurement instrument. A 0-to-100 score quantifying the engineered readiness of a brand to be recognised and cited by AI systems. AS is domain-intrinsic: it measures what the brand has built, regardless of whether AI systems are currently surfacing it. AS answers the question if AI systems were to engage with this brand fully, would they find the conditions that produce citation? AS is computed by aggregating thirty-six datapoints into six vectors into three pillars into the headline score, via a hybrid base formula and four sequential modifiers. AS is the diagnostic baseline of the AVO Practice Loop.
