Who
Citerank, the AI citation scanner at citability.dev, built by Chudi Nnorukam as an operator-facing evidence layer for AI-answer visibility, recommendation quality, and citation proof.
citability.devFree auditAbout · founding rationale
Citerank exists because AI answers changed the discovery surface faster than analytics changed with it.
Citerank is the AI citation scanner at citability.dev. Your CiteRank score (0-100) measures how often AI engines cite your site.
Citerank (citability.dev) is built and run by Chudi Nnorukam, an AI-Visible Web Architect and freeCodeCamp author who created the open-source AI Visibility Readiness (AVR) framework that powers the platform.
Traditional SEO tools tell you where a blue link ranks. They do not tell you whether ChatGPT recommends you, whether Claude cites your docs, whether Perplexity links a competitor, or whether Gemini silently omits your brand.
Who runs Citerank, and what it does
What
A platform that measures whether AI can find, recommend, and cite you, centered on prompt-based audits, signed receipts, model-version pinning, competitor comparison, and AVR scoring.
Why
Because high-intent AI answers are now a distribution channel, and most teams still cannot inspect what those systems say about them.
Design principle: evidence over claims.
The product is intentionally not a bright growth dashboard. It is a trust surface. Metrics summarize risk. Receipts prove it. Every higher-level view must drill down to model output, extraction logic, and sourceable proof.

Where Citerank fits in AI visibility
Thirdi / trust layer
The broader direction is to build machine-readable trust and attribution surfaces for the AI-visible web, with citability.dev acting as the measurable proof engine.

Sister product
The same operator builds ReviewReplyCopilot, an AI tool that drafts on-brand replies to customer reviews. It is a working example of an AI-visible product, the kind of site whose ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Claude citation rate Citability is designed to measure.
