Verified client result ## By the end, you know exactly where you stand Eight steps, every one logged, that turn a hunch into evidence: where you stand, who’s recommended instead of you, and what to do first. 1. How your buyers talk We collect the words your buyers really use, so we test their language and not ours. 2. Your own numbers We read your site and your Search Console, and work out how many AI visitors your analytics is missing. 3. Does AI know who you are? We test whether AI can tell who you are at all, before it looks anything up. 4. Build the questions The questions your buyers actually ask, in their own words, for every kind of buyer you have. 5. Ask the engines Every question, put to up to 9 engines. Every answer written down, whether you were named or not. 6. You against your competitors How often AI names you, set against the competitors you actually lose work to. 7. What nobody owns yet The questions nobody has claimed, and the ones a competitor has claimed instead of you. 8. The plan Keep, start, stop, sequenced over four quarters. ## Four sections, each on its own page ### Keep / Start / Stop What's working, what to begin, what to drop. ### The order to do it in The work laid out across four quarters, so you know what comes first. ### The risk of doing nothing What waiting costs you, set against how fast your market is closing up. ### Your score, by buyer For each kind of buyer: does AI know you, does it trust you, can it quote you. How the verdict reads Keep - The founder's writing on succession, already cited Start - Guides for business owners handing the business on Stop - Generic award badges no engine reads Illustrative example, not a real client ## The window is closing AI will name a dozen, but it recommends two or three. In our July sweep of 26 UK markets, the top three in the average market took 62% of AI recommendations. Once a name is on that shortlist, it is hard to shift. Recommendation concentration Recommendation concentration: Month 0, 31%; Month 1, 47%; Month 2, 60% Illustrative: how a market closes up. The leaders’ share of AI recommendations climbs towards the \~62% our July sweep measured, while somebody who does nothing stays flat near zero. Illustrative example, not a real client 62% of a market's AI recommendations go to just three firms 85% of markets: three firms take at least half the recommendations 32% of a market's recommendations taken by one firm alone Source: Avouch cross-market sweep, July 2026. 26 UK markets in professional services and private healthcare, three AI engines, 690 live answers, 728 recommendations. Figures are the average across markets, not pooled. ## Ready to see where you stand? Start with the free scan, a short PDF, no call, no commitment. If you want the full picture after that, the Recommendation Index runs the complete sweep and lands in about a week. That one starts with a conversation with Steen. Or [book 30 minutes with Steen](https://cal.com/steen-stones-zknzix/30min). ## What happens next The Recommendation Index stands on its own. Most people want the work done as well as measured, and that’s where the retainer starts. ## Recommendation Index questions ### How long does it take? About a week from the point we have what we need from you. ### What do you need from us? Very little. Your name and website, your main competitors, and the one client you most want to win. We pull the rest from public sources. You do not need to give us access to anything internal. ### Do you sign an NDA? Yes, on request, before you share anything you'd rather keep private. We never publish your data without written permission. ### Who needs to be involved internally? One person to brief us at the start and to receive the report. After that it is built to be passed round whoever needs to see it. That is what it is for. ### What if nothing moves? The Recommendation Index tells you honestly whether there is a way to move it. If there is not, we will say so, and you are under no obligation to go any further. You will know in days, not months. AI can't recommend what it doesn't know.
