The use of the professional credential: Mark B. Huntley, J.D. reflects his Juris Doctor degree and former legal background. It should not be interpreted as representing that he is currently acting as legal counsel. Using this website, contacting 3D Chess Media, sending an email, completing a form, or communicating with Mark does not create an attorney-client relationship.

Do not send confidential legal information with the expectation that it is protected by attorney-client privilege.

Research and AI Search Information

3D Chess Media and its portfolio properties may publish information concerning: Artificial intelligence, AI search, Generative Engine Optimization, Answer Engine Optimization, Search visibility, AI recommendations, AI citations, Competitive intelligence, Market research, AI-generated responses, Source influence, Digital publishing, and Consumer or business research. AI platforms are controlled by third parties. Their: Models, Search systems, Sources, Retrieval mechanisms, User interfaces, Recommendation behavior, Citations, and Features.

Can change without notice. Research describing AI behavior should generally be understood as reflecting the systems, prompts, methodology, dates, and conditions used for the relevant study. Past AI behavior does not guarantee future AI behavior.

AI-Generated Recommendations Are Not Our Recommendations

Some properties within The 3D Chess Media Portfolio may study what external AI systems recommend. If a publication reports that an AI system recommended a company, product, or service, that does not necessarily mean 3D Chess Media independently recommends that company. The research may simply be reporting an observed AI response. For example: "Six of seven AI systems recommended Company A", means that the systems tested produced that result under the conditions described in the research. It does not automatically mean: "3D Chess Media independently determined that Company A is objectively the best choice.", Readers should review the methodology and limitations associated with individual studies.

AI Consensus Is Not Proof of Objective Truth

Multiple AI systems may produce similar recommendations. That agreement can be measured. It should not automatically be interpreted as independent expert validation. AI systems may rely on overlapping: Search results, Training information, Publishers, Company websites, Reviews, Research, Public datasets, and Other sources. A Consensus Index result is therefore intended to describe observed agreement among the systems tested. It is not intended to prove that the systems constitute independent experts or that their collective recommendation is objectively correct.

Research Limitations

Research published by 3D Chess Media or its properties may involve:

Sampling
Prompt selection
Automated processing
Human review
AI-generated information
Third-party data
Publicly available information
Statistical summaries
Models
Estimates
Methodological judgments

Every research approach has limitations. Where practical, important studies should explain the relevant methodology and limitations. Users should not assume that a dataset proves more than the methodology reasonably supports.

No Guarantee of AI Visibility or Search Performance

3D Chess Media, LLM Authority Index, and CiteWorks Studio may discuss or work on areas related to: AI search visibility, Search engine visibility, AI citations, AI recommendations, GEO, AEO, SEO, Content, Authority, and Digital reputation. No one can guarantee how independent third-party AI platforms or search engines will rank, cite, retrieve, describe, or recommend a company. Accordingly, nothing on this website should be interpreted as a guarantee of:

AI recommendations
Search rankings
AI citations
Website traffic
Leads
Sales
Revenue
Return on investment
Specific commercial results

Case studies and historical results describe particular circumstances and should not be interpreted as guarantees of future performance.

Modeled and Estimated Results

Unless expressly stated otherwise, modeled or estimated values should not be interpreted as actual booked revenue, guaranteed savings, guaranteed future performance, or audited financial results. The assumptions underlying a model can materially affect the result.

Third-Party Information

Our websites may reference information provided by third parties. Examples include: Company websites, Government agencies, Publishers, Research organizations, News sources, Software companies, AI platforms, Product providers, Industry associations, and Public databases.

Advertising & Affiliate Disclosure

3D Chess Media operates both: research businesses, and commercial service businesses. For example: LLM Authority Index conducts AI search research and measurement. CiteWorks Studio provides commercial AI search strategy and implementation services. A related company may sometimes appear within research concerning an industry in which it operates. That creates a potential conflict of interest. Our general approach is to disclose material relationships and preserve the underlying research result rather than hide the relationship.
