Authority Gap Analysis

See how your organization actually shows up in the market.

You know the expertise inside your organization. The question is whether the market sees it too.

The Authority Gap Analysis is a structured outside read of your visible market presence, benchmarked against selected competitors and interpreted through a senior strategic lens.

The readout

Not a to-do list. A point of view.

  • How you show up

    What someone encountering your organization is likely to understand about who you are, what you know and what you stand for.

  • Where the disconnect sits

    Where your expertise, narrative, visibility or market authority may not be reinforcing one another.

  • Who is getting the credit

    How selected competitors show up around the ideas and territory you want to own.

  • What matters next

    The most consequential opportunity we see—and where we'd focus first.

The analysis

We look at the market-facing evidence.

The analysis reviews your owned presence, recent search and news visibility, selected competitors and relevant AI-generated answers to establish a current outside-in view.

  • Website and owned content
  • Search and recent market visibility
  • Selected competitor presence
  • Thought leadership and executive visibility
  • Relevant AI answer baseline

Note: the AI component is treated as one market signal, not a definitive measure. Results can vary by model, query and timing.
