02What this engine concluded

Signal, evidence, consequence, action.

Every conclusion carries its evidence, its confidence and the intervention it implies, so the readout can be argued with, not just read.

01 · Business meaning

Google rank and AI recommendation are separate commercial assets. Ironvale ranks first for account setup, a question asked only after the vendor has already been chosen, and is absent from every question that decides the vendor.
