Methodology & Frameworks

Salienci publishes one methodology document today: the Salienci Score Measurement Methodology Overview, which explains what the score measures, how the Access, Extraction, and Selection layers are weighted at a conceptual level, and the limits of what any AI visibility measurement can claim. Further frameworks are published only once they are verified.

The Salienci Score - Measurement Methodology

A public overview of what the Salienci Score measures, how outcomes are measured, how content quality is validated, and where the known limits are.

What each resource category is for

Each category answers a different question. Guides explain how AI recommendation works, downloads give you something to apply, case studies show measured movement once clients approve disclosure, and methodology documents explain how Salienci measures anything at all.

How measurement works, what it does not measure, and where the limits are. This is the category to read before trusting any number on this site.

Categories marked in development contain no published material yet. Salienci does not publish placeholder resources to fill a page.

Which resource to read first

Start with the Salienci Score methodology. It defines what is measured, what is not, and how confidence is reported, which makes every other page on this site readable. Move to the framework and K-Matrix next, then request an audit when you want the measurement applied to your own domain.
