AEO Experiment Validator
Check an AEO test for a falsifiable hypothesis, control, frozen prompts, preserved zeros, raw evidence and inference limits—then download the protocol.
Research planning tool
Validate an AEO experiment before you publish the claim
Describe one intervention, control and outcome. The validator flags missing evidence and builds a downloadable protocol; it does not predict rankings or citations.
The AEO Experiment Validator reviews a proposed test before data collection. It checks for a falsifiable hypothesis, one intervention, a comparison, frozen prompts, retained zeros, raw answer evidence, search guardrails and predeclared limits.
How to use the validator
- Describe one question and one platform or surface.
- Define treatment and control cohorts before the first observation.
- Choose one primary outcome: citation, absorption, referral, precision or recall.
- Add direct, indirect and negative prompts.
- Resolve every blocker, then download the protocol JSON and observation CSV.
Inputs stay in local browser storage. The tool makes no network request and does not send your protocol to SearchEngineAnswer or an AI platform.
What the readiness score means
The score is a deterministic planning checklist, not a statistical power calculation. A high score means the protocol includes the named evidence controls. It does not mean the intervention will work, the sample is representative or a result will be causal.
Use the small SEO experiment guide for interpretation and the AI visibility crosswalk to keep mentions, citations and referrals separate.
