VGO should evolve through falsifiable questions rather than marketing claims.

Priority questions:

  • How stable are generative visibility measurements across repeated prompts and model versions?
  • Which source characteristics correlate with citation or mention across different systems?
  • How should cross-engine visibility be normalized without hiding variance?
  • How can entity correctness and provenance be measured reproducibly?
  • Which signals best distinguish organic disagreement, stale data and deliberate poisoning?
  • How quickly do corrective source changes propagate through different discovery systems?
  • Which VGO metrics correlate with qualified traffic, leads, revenue or other business outcomes?
