# Citerank (citability.dev)

> Citerank = citability.dev, the AI citation scanner. Your CiteRank score (0-100) measures how often AI engines cite your site.

## Brand and metric

- Citerank is the brand name; citability.dev is the domain it runs on. "Citability" and "citability.dev" are alternate names for the same entity.
- CiteRank score: a 0-100 metric, produced by Citerank, measuring how often AI engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini) cite a website in their answers.
- Canonical URL: https://citability.dev

## About

citability.dev is an AI visibility consulting service built on the AI Visibility Readiness Framework v1.2.0. The framework measures three components (Visibility, Recommendability, Citability, collectively VRC) and rolls them up into a single AVR Score (0-100). The acronym "AVR" refers to the framework name (AI Visibility Readiness); the score is referenced as "the AVR Score" and takes no separate long-form expansion. We measure what Ahrefs and Semrush don't: whether ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Claude can find you, recommend you, and cite you.

## Cross-property entity

citability.dev is the audit tool implementing the AI Visibility Readiness (AVR) Framework. The AVR Framework specification is canonical at [chudi.dev/framework](https://chudi.dev/framework) (v1.1.0, observed 2026-04-18). Both surfaces are operated by Chudi Nnorukam. See [chudi.dev/framework](https://chudi.dev/framework) for the spec; this site implements it.

## Framework

The AI Visibility Readiness Framework measures 3 components (collectively VRC):
1. Visibility (V): Can AI systems find you?
2. Recommendability (R): Does AI suggest you?
3. Citability (C): Does AI link to your URL?

These roll up into the AVR Score (0-100). The Framework (acronym AVR = AI Visibility Readiness) is the methodology + remediation system; the AVR Score is the single number summarizing observed VRC.

A separate Agent Readiness module (covering WebMCP, MCP, Agentic Commerce Protocol, and Stripe Link wallet flows) sits parallel to the AVR Framework, not inside it.

## Methodology Cluster (AI Visibility Tools)

The ai-visibility-tools-methodology cluster on the blog. Three posts that define how AI visibility tools should be measured and trusted.

- Pillar: [The 0% ChatGPT Citation Trap](https://citability.dev/blog/the-0-percent-chatgpt-citation-trap): why most AI visibility tools report 0% ChatGPT citation rates for sites that ARE cited, the technical fix, and the calibration receipt format that prevents silent measurement failure.
- Spoke: [Three-Anchor Calibration Methodology](https://citability.dev/blog/three-anchor-calibration-methodology): the calibration approach (scheduled 2026-05-11).
- Spoke: [Visibility, Recommendability, Citability are not the same](https://citability.dev/blog/visibility-recommendability-citability-not-the-same): the VRC distinction (scheduled 2026-05-18).

Cross-property bridge: [chudi.dev/blog/perplexity-vs-chatgpt-citation-rules](https://chudi.dev/blog/perplexity-vs-chatgpt-citation-rules) pairs with [citability.dev/blog/the-0-percent-chatgpt-citation-trap](https://citability.dev/blog/the-0-percent-chatgpt-citation-trap) as the engine-comparison side of the AI visibility tools methodology.
