How the Atlas is edited.
The Atlas is published by AIVO, Inc. and powered by AIVO Meridian. It is meant to be useful whether or not a reader ever becomes an AIVO customer, which only works if the editorial rules are visible and applied evenly.
Evidence labels
Every record and every relationship carries its own label. Maturity (in use, preview, draft) is recorded separately from the evidence for it. Labels are never collapsed into a single "supported" badge.
| Label | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Independently tested | AIVO or a designated independent evaluator reproduced a defined behavior under controlled conditions. |
| Documented live integration | Product documentation shows an available implementation; not necessarily tested independently. |
| Vendor documented | The vendor documents the capability; real-world operation not independently confirmed. |
| Demonstrated / pilot | Shown in a demo, private pilot, preview or limited rollout. Not general availability. |
| Specification | A published protocol or proposed technical standard. Distinct from product adoption. |
| Design participation | The organization publicly joined or stewards a standards or design process. Implementation is not inferred. |
| Candidate / unreviewed | Cataloged for breadth and awaiting verification. Excluded from the default map. |
| Analysis / scenario | Atlas editorial interpretation, category or scenario. Assumptions are stated. |
What the numbers mean
176 research records
Models, products, platforms, standards, category markers and candidates from the Atlas 2.0 research snapshot (10 October 2026). Not 176 independently verified autonomous agents. 63 are candidates awaiting verification and stay off the default views. 12 were removed by the agentic scope test (content assistants, robotics, self-driving).
95 relationship claims
Each has a specific source and a qualified claim: specifications, demonstrations, vendor-documented and live integrations, labeled separately. No independent end-to-end compatibility tests have yet been run, so documented support is not certified compatibility.
44 Poppy organizations
Sierra and Meta plus 7 launch partners and 35 design partners named in the protocol's design process. They are not counted as interoperable integrations.
Publisher disclosure
AIVO, Inc. publishes the Atlas and offers AIVO Meridian. Meridian and competing measurement providers are covered by the same editorial and evidence policy, listed alphabetically, and never given a paid or preferential rank.
| Atlas function | Meridian placement | Boundary |
|---|---|---|
| Prompt-level visibility and mention monitoring | Not its defining category | Not classified as first-prompt visibility tracking. |
| Controlled live buying-agent research | Core capability | Research conditions, models, replicates, scenarios and time window are stated. |
| Final recommendation and win share | Core capability | Controlled research outcomes are distinguished from real-world sales. |
| Linkage Gap and Evidence Gap | Research and diagnostic capability | Observed failures are distinguished from hypothesized causes. |
| Brand Alpha and commercial exposure | Modeled interpretation | Assumptions, input provenance and uncertainty are exposed. Modeled exposure is not observed revenue. |
| Execution-stage and transactional telemetry | Not claimed | No claim of platform-wide operational measurement. |
Inclusion criteria
The Atlas is a curated guide, not a directory of every provider. AIVO, Inc. reviews every suggestion against these published criteria, and applies them identically to its own products.
Measurement and research providers
Anyone claiming to measure how AI systems treat brands:
- a published methodology
- published results, with sample sizes
- the number of runs or replication stated
- independent review or verifiable data
Products, protocols and infrastructure
Anything that acts, decides or transacts on someone's behalf, or lets agents do so:
- within the agentic scope
- documented by its provider, with a source
- live, or clearly labeled as pilot, preview or draft
Keeping it current
Dated and sourced
Every published claim keeps its source, its checked date and its evidence label. Claims not re-checked within the review period are flagged for review, never left looking current.
People approve, AI assists
Monitoring of vendor, protocol and regulator sources can propose changes, but AIVO, Inc. reviews and approves every material change. Nothing AI-written is published automatically.
