Shoushin has a limited AI-visibility profile at 43/100 - a proxy for how readily ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google's AI Overviews can recognise and cite it. Its strongest area is visibility (55/100) and its weakest is trust (22/100). It benefits from a recognised Wikipedia company entity, a Wikidata knowledge-graph entry and open access for AI crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, etc.).
