Arlis has a weak AI-visibility profile at 27/100 - a proxy for how readily ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google's AI Overviews can recognise and cite it. Its strongest area is recommendation likelihood (45/100) and its weakest is trust (19/100). It benefits from a Wikidata knowledge-graph entry and open access for AI crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, etc.).
