How APO Works

The technical process behind Agent Perception Optimization

APO works by establishing your Beacon (core message), analyzing how multiple AI models interpret it, detecting blips (variances), calculating alignment scores, and providing optimization recommendations. The process combines automated analysis with expert review to ensure your message maintains fidelity across AI systems.

01

Beacon Definition

Establish your core message and truth as the reference point for all measurements

Your Beacon serves as the authoritative version of your message, including key claims, tone, and intended positioning.

02

Multi-Model Analysis

Submit your content to GPT, Claude, Gemini, and Grok for interpretation

We use standardized prompts across different personas and use cases to capture how each model interprets your message.

03

Blip Detection

Identify discrete variances between your Beacon and model interpretations

Our analysis engine categorizes differences into omissions, substitutions, hedging, attribution changes, and sentiment shifts.

04

Alignment Scoring

Calculate a 0-100 score measuring fidelity to your original message

Scores consider severity, frequency, and impact of detected blips to provide an overall alignment metric.

05

Drift Pattern Analysis

Analyze patterns across models and time to identify systematic issues

We look for consistent drift patterns that indicate structural content optimization opportunities.

06

Optimization Recommendations

Provide specific, actionable recommendations to improve alignment

Recommendations include content adjustments, structural changes, and ongoing monitoring strategies.

Technical Approach

Analysis Dimensions

  • • Multiple user personas
  • • Different prompt contexts
  • • Varying detail levels
  • • Industry-specific framings
  • • Competitive comparisons

Blip Categories

  • • Omissions: Missing key information
  • • Substitutions: Word/phrase changes
  • • Hedging: Added uncertainty language
  • • Attribution: Claims vs. sources
  • • Sentiment: Tone shifts

Scoring Methodology

  • • Weighted severity scoring
  • • Frequency impact analysis
  • • Context-aware adjustments
  • • Industry benchmark comparison
  • • Temporal drift tracking

Sample Analysis Output

// Example Blip Detection
- OMISSION: "revolutionary" (severity: medium, confidence: 0.89)
- HEDGING: "increases by 40%" → "may increase up to 40%" (severity: high, confidence: 0.92)
- ATTRIBUTION: Direct claim → "Company claims" (severity: high, confidence: 0.85)
Overall Alignment Score: 73/100
