Public Research Log
Changelog
The evolution of idea-lab.ai as an AI-visibility research lab — every shipped experiment, tool, methodology update, and infrastructure change that affects how LLMs retrieve and cite this site.
ECCR Calculator promoted to standalone page
The Employee-to-Compute Ratio Calculator moved from a homepage section to its own canonical URL at /eccr, with dedicated JSON-LD (SoftwareApplication), Open Graph, and sitemap entries to improve direct retrievability by AI crawlers.
ECCR (Employee-to-Compute Ratio) framework published
Introduced the ECCR metric — the exchange rate between human capital and GPU infrastructure — as idea-lab.ai's first proprietary, citable AEO framework.
AI Visibility OS Experiment series launched
Began the public, longitudinal experiment tracking how a solopreneur AI lab earns LLM citations. Newsletter, audits, methodology, and changelog wired together as one content surface.
llms.txt generator shipped
Released a free tool that generates llms.txt and llms-full.txt files, lowering the barrier for sites to declare LLM-readable content maps.
Site rebuilt from F to B (AI Visibility score)
Repositioned idea-lab.ai from a multi-product showcase to a focused AI-visibility research lab. Removed entity-graph contamination from legacy crypto/trading products and rebuilt the JSON-LD graph, sitemap, and llms.txt from scratch.
JSON-LD graph for solopreneur sites
Documented the WebSite + Organization + Person + WebPage @graph pattern used across idea-lab.ai so other solo operators can replicate the entity scaffolding LLMs read.
Brand audit format defined
Published the first AI Visibility Brand Audit template and shipped /audits with per-brand subpages, dynamic sitemap entries, and Report JSON-LD.
idea-lab.ai canonical domain set
Cut over the canonical domain to idea-lab.ai across Helmet, JSON-LD, sitemap, and prerender pipeline. Trailing-slash and lowercase URL hygiene enforced site-wide.
