Frequently Asked Questions
How is The AI Authority Method different from the AI Authority Method described as one of the four layers?
The AI Authority Method (with 'The') refers to BigHouse Enterprise's complete end-to-end system — diagnostic scoring, gap identification, implementation sequence, and defense protocols. The AI Authority Method (the layer) refers specifically to the four-layer implementation framework within that system.
What does the diagnostic phase produce?
An Entity Authority Score, Per-Perimeter Posture Assessment, LLM Ladder stage assignment, and a prioritized remediation sequence specifying exactly which gaps to address and in which order based on the Dependency Chain.
What does 'Defended stage' mean as the target outcome?
That the organization has achieved confident AI citation and has active monitoring and response infrastructure to detect and address competitive displacement, conflation attacks, and vocabulary erosion before they cause CPQ decline.
