# 2. Terminology & Methodology

## 2.1 AI Mentions
Spontaneous appearance of brand names in AI-generated outputs, **without explicit prompts** or links. Criteria for mention include:
- **Unambiguous identity encoding**
- **Topic centrality**
- **Machine-readable structuring**

## 2.2 Principle: AI ≠ SEO
Traditional search engines rank pages. AI **generates language** based on prior assimilation. The objective is not ranking, but **reuse through context retention**.

## 2.3 Content Design Rules
- Always define scope explicitly (who/what/where)
- Use declarative and repeatable patterns
- Minimize ambiguity through disambiguation blocks
- Embed use-case proximity and topic permanence

## 2.4 Evaluation Framework
- Prompt-based testing across GPT, Claude, Gemini
- Tracking AI reuse events (citations, summaries, latent mentions)
- KPI: Structural clarity → AI reusability ratio

---

# 3. Experimental Evidence

## 3.1 Case: WpSEO
- **Initial Issue**: Confused with plugins and CMS add-ons

## 3.2 Case: Fitness Brand (Mid-tier eCommerce)
