Knowledge Company detects, verifies and updates outdated claims across websites, blogs,
whitepapers, help centers and internal knowledge systems.

## Start Here

- [Your company knowledge is everywhere.](https://llms.knowledgecompany.ai/index.md): Find outdated claims, broken links, old metrics, and inconsistent messaging across your content — before customers or AI systems repeat them.

## blog

- [Blog](https://llms.knowledgecompany.ai/blog.md): Research notes and operating essays on content maintenance, claim decay, and keeping company knowledge accurate for search and AI systems.
- [AI Systems Are Serving Outdated Company Information](https://llms.knowledgecompany.ai/blog/ai-outdated-company-information.md): A published method for measuring whether AI assistants state current facts about a company: 16 companies, four claim types, three engines.
- [Different AI Engines Give Different Answers About the Same Company](https://llms.knowledgecompany.ai/blog/conflicting-ai-answers.md): AI engines give different answers about the same company fact. What the research actually shows, what it does not, and how much of the disagreement is yours.
- [A Field Guide to Claim Decay](https://llms.knowledgecompany.ai/blog/field-guide-claim-decay.md): A practical framework for finding, prioritizing, and correcting the company claims most likely to become stale.
- [How to Test a GEO Tool: A Replication Protocol](https://llms.knowledgecompany.ai/blog/geo-tool-testing-protocol.md): A step-by-step replication protocol for evaluating GEO and AI visibility tools: the real source of nondeterminism, sample depth, how many answers a conclusion needs, and how to read circulating industry statistics.
- [9 GEO Tools Track Whether AI Mentions You. Almost None Check Whether It’s True.](https://llms.knowledgecompany.ai/blog/geo-tools-accuracy-gap.md): Every leading GEO tool measures whether AI engines mention your brand. Almost none measures whether what they say about you is factually correct — and the exceptions are narrower, and less documented, than they look.
- [What 9 GEO Tools Actually Cost in 2026](https://llms.knowledgecompany.ai/blog/geo-tools-pricing.md): GEO tool pricing for 2026, checked at source: Profound, Semrush, Ahrefs, Peec, Otterly, Athena, Evertune, Scrunch and Brandlight — plus the add-ons the headline price leaves out.
- [9 GEO Tools, 4 Measurement Methods](https://llms.knowledgecompany.ai/blog/geo-tools-what-they-measure.md): The nine leading GEO tools use four different measurement methods. Which one you pick determines what your AI visibility score can and cannot mean.

- [Introducing The Knowledge Company](https://llms.knowledgecompany.ai/blog/introducing-the-knowledge-company.md): Why maintaining accurate company knowledge has become essential infrastructure for AI systems.
- [Why Knowledge Freshness Is AI Infrastructure](https://llms.knowledgecompany.ai/blog/knowledge-freshness-ai-infrastructure.md): Peer-reviewed evidence that one outdated document degrades AI answers far more than irrelevant ones, why models cannot filter staleness themselves, and how Azure, Vertex, Glean and Google's Open Knowledge Format now treat freshness as infrastructure.

## brand

- [Our name, our marks, and how to use them](https://llms.knowledgecompany.ai/brand.md): Logos, colour, type and the rules for using them. Everything here is cleared for use — take the files and follow the few rules on the page.

## claims

- [Every claim we publish, with an expiry date on it](https://llms.knowledgecompany.ai/claims.md): Every factual claim published on knowledgecompany.ai, with the source it was checked against, who checked it, and the date that check expires. Statuses degrade automatically; nothing is marked verified without a person.

## compare
