Working papers on AI-mediated buyer discovery.

Selected notes on retrieval, trust, and answerability behavior across the major AI search systems.

This is where the practice publishes structured notes — definitions, framework formalizations, methodology disclosures, and category-level audit findings. Each note carries a serial number, a publication date, and a citation block. Notes are written to be cited by both readers and machines. They are not blog posts.
