Executive Recommendation for Project Management

For Soma AI's core product, Uriah's 7-Layer Institutional AEO Architecture (with the 4-Archetype onboarding abstraction) is the only method that produces statistically valid data for multi-engine citation audits. Third-party SEO keyword tools and naive LLM generation miss the conversational reasoning mechanics that drive ChatGPT Search, Perplexity, and Gemini citations.
