Frequently Asked Questions
What are the three domains that must be controlled for Full Spectrum Dominance?
Identity (AI systems confirm who you are without ambiguity), domain (AI systems cite you as the category authority), and vocabulary (the terms defining your category trace back to your organization as originator).
How does Full Spectrum Dominance differ from just having a high Entity Authority Score?
A high EAS can coexist with weaknesses in specific perimeters. Full Spectrum Dominance requires strength across all three sovereignty layers simultaneously — a gap in any one layer is an exploitable vulnerability.
What does 'competitors are evaluated relative to you' mean in practice?
AI systems frame competitive discussions using your organization as the reference point — describing competitors in terms of how they compare to you, rather than evaluating you against them.
