GSLHubGENERATIVE SEARCH LAB HUB

Research infrastructure

GSLHub — Research Infrastructure for Generative Search Visibility.

A reproducible research platform for studying how generative AI systems select, cite and recommend organizations, brands and digital sources.

LanguageEspañol

01

Scientific problem

Generative search changes digital visibility from ranked links to synthesized answers. Organizations can be mentioned, cited, recommended or omitted, but current practice still lacks sufficiently standardized and reproducible ways to measure those outcomes.

02

Doctoral research direction

From SEO to GEO (Generative Engine Optimization): development and validation of a scientific model to optimize organizational visibility in AI-based generative search engines.

Research workflow

A complete path from hypothesis to auditable evidence.

GSLHub is designed so that every scientific result can be traced backwards to its experimental conditions and preserved raw evidence.

01

Problem

Define the visibility question and the scientific gap.

02

Hypothesis

Specify a testable relationship or expected effect.

03

Experiment

Freeze prompts, AI systems, targets and repetition rules.

04

Execution

Run controlled prompts and preserve the execution context.

05

Evidence

Store response exports, screenshots and provenance with integrity checks.

06

Metrics

Calculate governed indicators such as AIR, CR, MCP and RCR.

07

Reproducibility

Retain versioning, review, audit and immutable scientific snapshots.

Methodology

Built for controlled empirical research, not one-off AI tests.

Controlled repetition

Experiments can reserve multiple comparable executions under the same versioned protocol.

Execution snapshots

Prompt, AI system and environment context become protected once an execution enters the governed workflow.

Evidence preservation

Raw exports and screenshots are linked to the execution and can be verified by SHA-256 against persistent storage.

Independent review

Coding, evidence and metric definitions support quality-control and reviewer separation before validation.

Measurement model

Core visibility and reproducibility metrics.

The first GSLHub metric set formalizes whether a target appears, is cited, where it is cited and how consistently the result is reproduced.

AIR

Answer Inclusion Rate

Share of eligible responses in which the target is mentioned.

CR

Citation Rate

Share of eligible responses in which the target is explicitly cited.

MCP

Mean Citation Position

Average observed position of target citations in eligible responses.

RCR

Response Consistency Rate

Rate at which comparable repetitions reproduce the coded outcome.

Development pilot

One complete execution has already passed the end-to-end workflow.

GSL-EXEC-GEO-0001 is a development validation run used to prove the research chain before any doctoral data collection begins.

This pilot is development evidence, not a doctoral result. A Final Development Reset will separate all development records from future doctoral research data.

Execution

Reproducibility

Scientific provenance is part of the platform architecture.

The goal is not only to calculate a metric, but to make it possible to explain where that metric came from and whether the underlying evidence remained unchanged.

Versioned prompts, experiments and metric definitions
Persistent research-artifact storage outside deployment releases
SHA-256 integrity verification for preserved files
Validated Evidence ↔ Research Artifact provenance
Immutable snapshots after governed lifecycle transitions
Development / Doctoral research separation and controlled reset

The public dashboard exposes only publishable research indicators. Authorized researchers use the private CMS for governed research operations.
