About the DAVI Score
A two-layer measurement of how AI engines see your destination. The Website Score measures whether AI can read your web presence and the third-party sources that cover you. The Perception Score measures what AI says about you when asked. Both feed the composite DAVI Score. Underlying weights, prompt corpus, and model sampling are proprietary to the DAVI methodology.
01Layer one
Measures whether AI engines can find, parse, and extract content from your destination's web presence. Combines crawler accessibility, structured data and semantic markup, editorial density, the readability of third-party sources that cover you, and the Zertura Destination Layer deployed across partner sites. Scored 0 to 100. Re-audited monthly.
02Layer two
Measures what AI engines actually say about your destination when prompted. Combines several equally weighted dimensions covering presence, accuracy, distinctiveness, recency and sentiment, plus a Brand Pillar Alignment grade. Sampled across leading AI models against a standardized visitor-intent prompt corpus, with multiple runs to capture variance. Scored 0 to 100.
03The composite
DAVI Score
The DAVI Score is a weighted blend of the Website Score and the Perception Score, rebased to the shared 0 to 100 scale. The blend favors what AI says about you over whether AI can read you, and is tuned per client to reflect local priorities. Specific weights and inputs are part of the proprietary DAVI methodology.

04Methodology note
On measurement and AI's non-deterministic nature.
AI responses are non-deterministic. Any individual response is one draw from a distribution and cannot be predicted exactly. DAVI does not claim to predict individual responses.
DAVI measures the directional distribution of AI behavior by sampling across leading AI models, a standardized prompt corpus, and multiple runs, with reported variance. This is the same statistical posture used in election polling, clinical trials, and brand tracking studies.
"Stochastic" doesn't mean "unmeasurable." It means "sample-based with confidence intervals." The Website Score answers a determinate question about HTML readability. The Perception Score answers a probabilistic question about AI behavior. Both are operating metrics.
Score bands
01Leading80 to 100
80 to 100. Best in class for this destination size and category.
02Established60 to 79
60 to 79. Healthy performance. Protect the gains and look for selective lift.
03Developing40 to 59
40 to 59. Below where it should be and likely to slide further without action.
04Critical0 to 39
0 to 39. The dimension is actively pulling the composite down and needs immediate attention.
