Answer accuracy: when AI gets you wrong
The two-sided view of AI visibility: presence gained on one side, incorrect-mention risk on the other.
What it is
Answer accuracy measures whether an AI answer that names you says something that contradicts a ground-truth fact you supplied. It is the honest negative side of AI visibility, not just presence.
When to use it
When you want to catch an AI engine repeating a wrong fact about your business, not only whether it mentions you.
Step by step
- 1Supply ground-truth facts about your business (for example founding year, category, key attributes).
- 2Run a measured citation pass.
- 3Review any answers that contradicted one of your facts, with the quote as evidence.
What you will see
A two-sided panel: presence and citations on one side, and incorrect-mention risk with the contradicting quote on the other. With no facts supplied, it honestly reads not yet measured.
Measured, never manufactured
We never let an AI freely judge correctness and call it measured. A contradiction is flagged only against a fact you supplied, anchored to the verbatim quote.
