Running VeritasScore

Guides for GEO reports, AI Focus Groups, scores, sharing, and the Partner API.

VeritasScore is the composite company score (300–870) produced after GEO and a linked AI Focus Group finish. It is a management benchmark for how AI systems perceive your brand—not a credit rating, SEO rank, or financial score. This page covers how to generate it and why a multi-model score exists; how to read gauges and breakdowns is on Reading VeritasScore.

Why the score exists

Asking one chat model “what do you think of this company?” is not diligence. Frontier systems disagree: in our research, the same company question yields a median gap of about 100 points between the highest- and lowest-scoring models on a 300–870 scale (and much larger swings when live retrieval noise is in play). We call that split-perception—an unpriced information risk if you treat any single answer as ground truth.

VeritasScore is the operational response: run a structured GEO prompt set across multiple models, add buyer-style Focus Group signal, then collapse the stack into one comparable number with components you can act on. The point is not a prettier chatbot reply—it is a repeatable instrument so you can track movement after you change the site, proof, or narrative.

What you need before a score

  • A completed GEO (AI Brand Analysis) for the brand.
  • A completed AI Focus Group linked to that GEO—GEO alone is not enough for perception and preference components.
  • Then the scoring job builds VeritasScore, breakdown, narrative, and recommendations.

How to start VeritasScore

There is no standalone “buy a score only” happy path. Score generation continues an analysis cycle:

How VeritasScore starts

Full pipeline

Start GEO with Focus Groups + VeritasScore on. Score calculates after GEO and FG finish — one analysis.

Generate from dossier

When GEO and Focus Group are done: Generate VeritasScore on the brand card, then open the score report.

Funnel auto-continue

After the unlocked funnel cycle, FG completion can dispatch VeritasScore without a separate form.

Example: full pipeline, dossier Generate, or funnel auto-continue.
  • Full pipeline — on /geo-analysis/start keep After GEO completes, automatically run Focus Groups and VeritasScore (often forced under bundle billing). One analysis covers the cycle.
  • My Dashboard — when GEO and FG are done, use Generate VeritasScore on the brand card; open the report at /reports/score/{uuid} when ready.
  • Funnel / auto — after an unlocked funnel cycle, Focus Group completion can dispatch VeritasScore; the GEO report may show generating / ready toasts.
  • Combined view — /reports/combined/{uuid} stacks score + GEO + Focus Group for one presentation URL.

VeritasScore

Composite 300–870 company score

Starting GEO (or a standalone Focus Group when no cycle is open) spends 1 analysis from your plan allowance. Continuing FG and VeritasScore inside that paid cycle does not charge again.

Reminder: one analysis = GEO → Focus Group → VeritasScore inside the same paid cycle.

Analyses and billing

Starting a new GEO (or Focus Group when no open paid cycle exists) spends 1 analysis. Continuing Focus Group and VeritasScore inside that paid cycle does not charge again. See Plans, analyses & limits for Free vs paid tiers and model visibility.
