Be the answer that AI chooses.
When professionals ask AI expert questions, the firm with the authoritative answer should be the one cited. Delphic makes that happen — without opening your paywall.

Methodology
Track-record
Shift 3AI does the evaluation work search used to leave to the buyer.
AI-referred clicks convert 5× more than Google organic (Lantern, 2026). The credibility judgment already happened — through whatever AI cited.
AI finds answers to specific questions. Expert-knowledge firms have the best answers. But AI cannot recommend expertise which is hidden behind a paywall.
Enter the market
We map the questions your products answer and turn existing public surfaces into clear, machine-readable evidence of your authority.
1. AI knows what you are best placed to answer
Expertise behind the paywall becomes machine-readable without disclosure.
2. Public content becomes more competitive
Existing pages are restructured at the question level for machine evaluation.
3. You see the questions buyers are asking
Once your answer catalogue is live, the questions driving real traffic surface naturally.
Own the market
We continuously track where AI cites today, diagnose why each cited source wins signal-by-signal, and recommend the minimum move to win each citation back.
4. Citation share is continuously lifted
Optimal disclosure and signalling strategy across the question map, updated regularly.
5. Compounding intelligence and personalisation
Each cycle calibrates the next. The system sharpens with use, across every AI model.
6. Your editorial team stays editorial
We own delivery; your team sets policy and approves what gets published.
