01 / SEVEN STEPS
Run the operating loop in order.
- Define the buyer-question set.Cover category, alternatives, implementation, pricing, use case, risk, integrations and ROI; keep controlled paraphrases instead of one page per wording.
- Baseline observations.Save prompt, model, date, answer, recommendations and citations; repeat to see variation.
- Diagnose missing evidence.Check entity clarity, product facts, comparisons, proof, third-party sources and technical access.
- Build high-value assets.Use commercial, use-case, comparison, docs, pricing, integration, original-data and legitimate-mention assets.
- Make facts extractable.Use direct definitions, tables, numbers, dates, procedures and source attribution with genuine update dates.
- Re-test the same questions.Record source and context changes across controlled paraphrases and engines.
- Continue after the click.Match website experience to intent, capture actions and CRM outcomes, then improve the next cycle.

Eli's loop is install once → observe → understand → act → measure → learn. It connects recommendation evidence to a relevant destination, rather than treating visibility as the finish line.
