The objective

What counts as success?

The First Republic reaches 80% presence when the owned domain, book, author, or named framework appears for 40 of these 50 queries under the published scoring method.

This is a future campaign target. No baseline results are implied by publishing the questions or answer library.

Monthly protocol

Measure without moving the goalposts.

  1. Use each exact locked query.
  2. Test Google organic, Google AI Overviews when present, ChatGPT Search, Perplexity, Gemini, and Copilot.
  3. Record owned ranking, citation, named mention, book mention, and first-source position separately.
  4. Mark unavailable surfaces unavailable rather than successful.
  5. Preserve dates and evidence for every recorded result.
  6. Publish any material query or scoring change under the editorial corrections policy.

Current status

Baseline pending

The questions and owned answers are public first. Measurement begins after indexing, so future results can be compared against a denominator that existed before the result was known.
