IECA has a weak AI-visibility profile at 30/100 - 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 visibility (17/100). It benefits from a Wikidata knowledge-graph entry, a global traffic rank of #4,651,707 (Tranco) and open access for AI crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, etc.).

In a live check (November 2026), Claude could not identify IECA from memory, confirming the gaps above.
