10-query results: 8 of 10
Per-query detail behind the AI visibility scoreboard: 10 content-aligned queries, the published Bailey article behind each one, separate DuckDuckGo and Brave positions, and an honest record of any engine that was unavailable during the run.

What the misses tell us
Because every query now has a published content target, a miss points to discoverability, phrasing, or internal-linking work rather than an article Bailey has not written.
- Q9 — how does a land use planner improve development approvals No Bailey result appeared in DuckDuckGo's measured top 10. Brave was unavailable after a verification challenge, so this is a measured-engine miss rather than a completed two-engine result.
- Q10 — how can AI improve civil engineering plan quality No Bailey result appeared in DuckDuckGo's measured top 10. Brave was unavailable after a verification challenge, so this is a measured-engine miss rather than a completed two-engine result.
Methodology, expanded
The test asks a narrower, reproducible question: can a search system find Bailey for the same buyer-intent queries a person might give an AI assistant? It does not query ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or Perplexity directly, and it does not claim that a search rank guarantees an AI citation.
- DuckDuckGo HTML was run with the US English region and provides a repeatable view without a personalized account.
- Brave Search supplies a second independent result set; only organic links count, not the generated answer above them.
- Top-10 union scoring counts a pass when Bailey appears in either result set.
- Unavailable is not a miss: an engine must return a valid result set before a no-rank result is recorded. If both engines are unavailable, the query remains unscored.
- Direct AI citation testing would require a separately controlled, dated test across each assistant and is not represented by this table.
Union scoring is more generous than the original intersection-style baseline, which counted only queries where Bailey ranked across multiple engines. The recorded 8/10 measured result therefore measures search discoverability under this specific method. It should not be read as “Bailey appears in 8 AI answers.”
