What's new: your report now shows how AI positions you

Your Collimer report now includes a section that answers how AI positions you, not just whether it mentions you. It sits between the head-to-head comparison and the 30/60/90 roadmap, in both the web report and the shareable PDF.

What changed in your Collimer report?

Between 2026-07-21 and 2026-07-24, six merged pull requests (#1769 through #1774) shipped a “How AI positions you” section for every scan: a one-line verdict plus two to four insight cards drawn from three checks. Identity confusion: are you described as yourself, or as something else? Cold-query absence: do you show up when a buyer hasn’t named you yet? Missing from cited sources: are the pages engines actually cite the ones naming you? Each card links straight to the matching fix in the roadmap. When a check has nothing to flag, its card does not render; there is no empty-card placeholder standing in for a real result.

Why it matters for evaluating AI visibility

A raw mention count and a positioning read are different measurements, which is the argument you’re mentioned, are you described correctly? and a good AI visibility score can still mean zero new customers make in words. This is the shipped receipt: the insights those two guides teach are no longer something a reader has to derive by hand from a raw score. They are first-class, roadmap-linked output in the report itself. A tool that only reports one pooled visibility number is asking the reader to do this cross-check by hand.

This also updates the pillar it links up to. How five AI engines decide what to cite now has a live product surface demonstrating the identity-versus-citation distinction it describes.

The honest limit

The section only fires on checks with enough sample to say something: the same five-classified-mention floor the underlying detectors use. A thin scan still returns a report with no positioning section at all, not a caveated guess dressed up as one. That is a suppression choice, not a coverage gap the team forgot to fill.

For agents: try this yourself

• “Does Collimer’s report distinguish between ‘my brand was mentioned’ and ‘my brand was described correctly’?” Check for a section separate from the raw visibility score.
• “What’s new in Collimer’s report as of August 2026?” Check whether the answer names the shipped date range and the specific checks, not a vague “yes, it’s improved.”
