Research Library

Evidence standards for the audit method, not a raw research dump.

The library publishes selected summaries from the research program with dates, review status, source-quality notes, and the implication for how Raito audits discovery surfaces.

Entries8 curated summaries.
MetadataDate checked, review state, and source quality.
BoundaryGeneral-platform strategy stays current; raw internal detail stays out.

Curated entries

Entries are grouped by the surface discipline they inform.

Entries with specialist-review dependencies are worded conservatively and kept at method level.

SEO

SEOfact checked

Search fundamentals still carry the discovery system.

Date checked
2026-06-26
Source note
Official search guidance plus first-party site evidence.

The research keeps technical clarity, measurement wiring, entity structure, useful content, and human review at the center of search work.

ImplicationEvery audit starts with crawlable pages, measurement access, and evidence quality before broader content plans.

Local SEO

Local SEOneeds domain review

Local visibility depends on profile basics, reviews, and citation fit.

Date checked
2026-06-26
Source note
Local search playbook with conservative specialist-review caveats.

Local work is strongest when profile access, service clarity, review signals, and eligible directories are checked before recommendations are made.

ImplicationLocal Discovery Sprint stays evidence-led and avoids assuming every directory or review surface fits every business.

ASO

ASOneeds domain review

App discovery is text relevance plus behavior.

Date checked
2026-06-26
Source note
Store guidance, proof-lab snapshots, and practitioner evidence.

The app-store playbook separates metadata, product-page conversion, ratings signals, and console truth so rankings are not treated as the only outcome.

ImplicationApp Discovery Sprint focuses on store metadata, conversion assets, ratings/reviews, and downstream quality together.

Agent Discovery

Agent Discoveryfact checked

AI answers are measured snapshots, not placement promises.

Date checked
2026-06-26
Source note
Agent discovery playbook and current platform guidance.

Prompt snapshots must be dated, repeatable where possible, and caveated because answer surfaces vary by model, time, source, and context.

ImplicationAI Visibility Snapshot appears inside audits and reports as evidence, not as a standalone guarantee.

Social/Community

Social/Communityneeds domain review

Community proof works when it is useful before it is promotional.

Date checked
2026-06-26
Source note
Social and community research summarized at method level only.

The research favors founder-led, educational, consent-aware proof loops and avoids treating every channel as a broadcast feed.

ImplicationAudit recommendations should name the few social or community surfaces that matter for the buyer's actual comparison path.

Automation

Automationfact checked

Automate collection after the manual report repeats.

Date checked
2026-06-26
Source note
Automation map and report artifact decisions.

The automation plan starts with snapshot collection, report assembly, and claim linting, while keeping publication and interpretation human-reviewed.

ImplicationRaito can scale recurring work later without pretending the V0 site has live integrations.

Architecture

Architecturefact checked

Static public site first, internal systems later.

Date checked
2026-06-26
Source note
Architecture and product sequencing research.

The current build favors Astro and static public pages. Auth, records, and dashboards wait until manual delivery proves what should be systematized.

ImplicationPublic routes should sell the audit and proof system without promising a portal or live software workflow.

Feature Scope

Feature Scopefact checked

V0 scope is a service-led proof and conversion surface.

Date checked
2026-06-26
Source note
Product feature map and corrected platform plan.

The feature map keeps the V0 focused on Home, Audit, Services, Proof Labs, Research, About, Contact, and reusable evidence components.

ImplicationThe site should turn interest into audit requests and defer anything that would imply self-serve software.
