Authority Mapping

Which sources weigh in the story AI repeats?

The stake

In the June 2026 Index, the Maison's own domains carried less than ten percent of AI citations, for each of the ten Maisons measured. The rest of the story is supplied by third parties of unequal authority and accuracy. The map weighs each source, so the effort goes where the story is actually made.

What you do with it

What the map becomes:

  • A ranked list of the sources to reinforce, correct or create.
  • PR briefs aimed at the outlets that actually carry authority.
