Does substance predict citations? An observational cohort study

Study type:: Observational analysis
Question locked:: 10 September 2026

What we're testing

Customer content with higher Beige-ometer substance and citability scores is associated with higher observed AI-answer citation rates than lower-scoring content, controlling for engine and topic coverage.

We're testing it because we don't yet know the answer.

What publishes, and when

The question above was recorded before any data was collected, and it won't change to fit the data. The results publish here whatever they say, with the full method and, where we can share it responsibly, the data behind them. Until then, nothing early: no “early data suggests” figures while the study is running.
