The Two-Hour Source Desk

A standing offer, not a one-time pitch: if you're a journalist, researcher, or newsletter writer working on a story about AI search, AI visibility, or machine-readability, send us your real premise. We'll run the actual data, the same 9-point audit methodology behind every benchmark on this site, and get you a real answer within 2 hours. Free. No embargo games, no "let us see the draft first."

The part that makes this a real offer, not a pitch: if the data doesn't support your premise, we'll tell you that too, in the same 2 hours. We'd rather be the source that killed your story than the source that fed you a number you can't defend.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Send a real premise

Not "can you comment on AI search". A specific, checkable claim or question. Examples of what we can actually test fast:

"Do AI companies' own sites pass the basic access checks their products require of everyone else?"
"Does [industry] show up in ChatGPT/Perplexity answers, or is it invisible?"
"Is llms.txt actually being adopted, or is it mostly empty/abandoned files?"
"Does [specific company/site] block AI crawlers while claiming to want AI visibility?"

Honest detail on the clock: the inbox is checked on a fixed schedule, at least three times a day. The 2-hour promise below is the turnaround once your premise is seen, not a guarantee it's seen the instant it arrives. If you have a hard deadline, say so in the email and we'll flag it for the next check.

We run the real audit, not a guess

The same methodology behind the AI-companies benchmark, the Uninvited Benchmark, and every other report on this site: real fetches, real content-type checks, a fixed 9-point weighted rubric, one request per site, dated. Not a live LLM-prompting theater act.

You get real data back within 2 hours

Real numbers, real screenshots where useful, and honest framing of what the data does and doesn't show. If it kills your premise, you'll know that in the same 2 hours instead of finding out after you've already pitched your editor.

Send a premise:

Email [email protected] with the subject line "Two-Hour Source Desk" and your specific question. Include a deadline if you have one. We'll hit it or tell you honestly if we can't.

Why this exists:

Every press pitch this studio has ever sent is logged, dated, and checkable, including the ones that got zero reply. This offer flips the direction: instead of us guessing what a reporter wants to hear, you tell us exactly what you need checked, and we check it. See the receipts: The Receipts.
