A clear question. A traceable answer.
On this page
One offering. One buying category. One buyer market.
A Decision Map follows one buying decision: one offering in one buying category, for buyers in one country. That country is your Buyer Market. A company that sells in two markets runs two maps.
On day one you get the map and its Fix First list. Placement and Measure Again come after, only if you want them. It is not a company-wide visibility score.
What you tell us.
You set up your study after you sign in.
- WebsiteCitePack reads it and suggests the offerings and buying categories it could study.
- Buyer MarketThe country your buyers are in. It starts at the United States, and you can choose any other.
- Offering and buying categoryPick from the suggestions, or type your own.
- Your own wordsWhat the offering is best at and who it’s for. If you like, add who it isn’t for and facts you stand behind, such as a price, a limit or a certification. CitePack keeps your exact wording.
- Five questionsA buying situation for each one, with up to two buyer specifics.
Then you review the study and pay. Next comes the part that decides what gets asked: your questions.
Five buying situations.
Buyers ask different things at different points in a decision. Each of your five questions covers one buying situation, and the five together cover the whole decision.
- Category considerationThe buyer is just starting to look. Shows who is considered at all. Usually left broad, with no specifics.
- Job suitabilityThe buyer describes the work they need done. Shows who is named as right for that job.
- Mandatory eligibilityThe buyer has a condition they won’t bend on. Shows who is still named once it applies.
- Balancing prioritiesOne thing matters more to the buyer than another, such as price over reporting depth. Shows who is named once that priority is set.
- Change of solutionThe buyer is moving away from what they use now. Shows who is named as the next move.
A question can carry up to two buyer specifics: the work to be done, a must-have, a preference or the buyer’s starting point. CitePack suggests specifics from your website, and you can write your own. Nothing is added just to fill a slot.
CitePack drafts the five questions. You read each one, change any wording you like and approve all five together. Once approved, the questions are sealed. Every engine gets them exactly as written, and they never change for that study.
Four engines, three repeats each.
- EnginesChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity, each through its official API.
- ModelOne fixed model per engine, matched to the model its free app gives buyers. Every answer records the model that wrote it.
- Web searchOn for every engine, so answers can draw on pages from the web.
- Clean repeatsNo account history or memory shapes an answer. Every repeat uses the same question, model, market and settings.
- RepeatsEach question three times on each engine. 5 questions × 4 engines × 3 repeats = 60 observations.
Why three times? One answer can’t tell you whether the next will match it. Three repeats on every engine show where an answer holds and where it shifts. Every repeat is kept and shown.
In the app, each buyer’s screen is shaped by their own history and settings, so one screenshot describes one person. A Decision Map shows the pattern across 60 controlled observations in your buyers’ market.
5 questions × 4 engines × 3 repeats. Every answer is read and kept in the map.

PerplexityQuestion 1Your market, on every engine.
By default, your Buyer Market reaches every engine on every repeat, two ways at once. Each question names it, and each engine is set to it. We call this controlled market execution.
- ChatGPTIts own location setting, set to your country.
- PerplexityIts own location setting, set to your country.
- ClaudeIts own location setting, set to your country.
- GeminiA location point in your country.
CitePack drafts your questions with your market in them, and you approve every word. After that, your approved question is never changed.
You can turn this off before you approve. Then the questions don’t name your market and CitePack sends no location to any engine, so each one answers from its own default. It’s your call, and we recommend keeping it on.
Your map records, for each engine, how the market was applied.
What’s in your map.
- OverviewHow often you were put forward across all 60 observations, how often you were named first, and how often no option clearly came first.
- Questions 1 to 5A page per question, with every answer, the order it names options in and what it says about you.
- AI enginesHow each engine built its answers. What it searched, whether it used your site, how it laid the answer out, and how early and how much it wrote about you.
- Who gets pickedEvery other name in the answers, who comes before or after you, and who is listed first.
- What AI saysThe headline phrases on your pages next to the answers’ words about you, how the answers wrote your name, and the prices, free plans and amounts they stated, checked against your website.
- Evidence & TrustThe study as it ran, and every answer exactly as it came back.
Every number shows what it’s counted out of, and opens to the answers behind it.
Keep the differences in view.
Being put forward as an option, being mentioned and being cited are different things, and the map keeps them apart. An answer can mention a company without offering it. It can cite a page without recommending that page’s product.
When an answer lists options in a clear order, the map records your place in it: first, second, third and so on. If the order isn’t clear, the map says so instead of guessing. Every other name is read the same way. Who gets picked shows where each one sits against you, counted only in the answers where that order can be read.
A place in an answer is what that answer said. If one answer picks a single option, that pick belongs to that answer alone. It never becomes an overall verdict.
Each voice keeps its source.
What you confirm about your business, what your published pages say and what an AI answer says are kept separate. You can read them side by side, and the map never passes one off as another.
CitePack reading your website is not the same as an engine citing a page, or finding one through search. Cited pages and pages found by search are kept apart. A source record shows which page an answer cited, or which page its search found. It does not explain why the answer chose its wording.
Behind every finding sit the answers themselves. Each one can be read in full, with its engine, model and date.

The Fix First list, beside your map.
The Fix First list has its own address, linked from your map. It follows what the engines did: the searches they ran, the companies they looked up by name, the pages they read. CitePack reads those pages too and shows where you and the company listed first sit on each one.
Corrections come first. A page that gets a fact about you wrong, or carries a wrong entry for you, leads whenever an answer used it, because a wrong fact is wrong every time it’s read. Then come the pages the engines cite again, where the same engine cited the page in at least 2 of the 3 askings of one question. That bar matters. Two askings of the same question share only about half their cited pages, so a page cited once can be chance. Each page gets a steadiness band: high if it’s cited again on 2 or more questions, medium on 1, low on none. Pages cited once or only read, a rival’s own pages and pages with nothing to ask sit one tap away. A page an engine opened but didn’t cite is shown as read. It never counts as a citation.
Each row names the answers behind it, what the page says, and one of five asks: correct a fact, fix your entry, restore you, add you, or a position review. Where the page is your own, the row gives you the details instead. Where there’s no honest route, it says so and why. If no answer used a page, it isn’t on the list.
Facts about you are quoted from your site, and nothing about a rival is stated for you.
Placement, page by page.
You only pay for a page that’s live. You tick the pages you want worked on, up to 10 per map, and approve the facts we send. We write to each editor the way that publisher takes changes, and you see the editor’s reply word for word.
- LiveThe change shows on the page when we fetch it, and still shows when we recheck on day 7. Only then are you billed, on one bill a month.
- A noNothing is billed.
- RefundsA correction or a fix to your entry is refunded if it’s gone by the day-30 recheck. Restoring you, adding you or a position review isn’t refunded.
- Paid placesWe never pay editors. If a publisher only sells labelled paid places, you pay the publisher directly and our fee is the add-you or position review price.
You pay for a page that changed, never for a change in the AI answers. Nobody can promise that, and we don’t.
Measure Again, then the Before/After Snapshot.
Measure Again is ordered on its own and isn’t part of the founding seat. It measures the same decision again on Day 28 or X. Day 28, 28 days after your first map, is the day we recommend; X is any other day you choose. The same sealed questions go to the same four engines, three times each, in the same buyer market. Only time has passed, so what differs is what the engines now say.
- Day 0 beside Day 28 or XEvery answer from both measurements, side by side, whichever day you chose.
- Each engineMarked Same or Different, with how many of its fifteen answers changed. Where an engine’s model changed between the two measurements, the snapshot says so beside that engine.
- Each page you placedLooked at again on the new map, beside the change that went live.
- The Before/After SnapshotWhat moved, or that nothing did. A map that shows no change is a result too.
The new map comes with its own Fix First list, so you hold 120 answers, two Decision Maps, two Fix First lists and the Before/After Snapshot between them.
Your account home sits above your decisions. Across several, it shows each one’s latest standing and what moved since its previous map.
Each Measure Again costs $29, or ₹1,499 if you pay from India. We offer it by email around day 30 and never charge it on our own.
From approval to your map.
After you approve your questions, CitePack asks them, reads every answer and builds your map. It reaches your account in 30 minutes on average, with the Fix First list beside it. We email you when it’s ready. If our checks find a mistake, we hold the map and put it right first. If it isn’t delivered within 24 hours, you get a full refund.
Only you can open your map.
What you can rely on.
Every finding leads back to the answers behind it, and you can open each one. Where answers differ, the map shows it. Where the evidence runs out, the map says so.
We don’t sell outcomes. No visibility score, no generic list of fixes, no promise of citations. Every row on the Fix First list points to the answers and pages behind it. Measure Again reports what changed, or that nothing did, and nothing here claims to know an engine’s reasoning or that a change caused a move.
Know what you’re looking at.
Crosstrow is the illustrative offering we use to show how a map reads: its map, its Fix First list and Measure Again. Its figures are not measured engine results, customer outcomes or a sample study.
The full example map is an illustrative example as well. Crosstrow and the companies its answers name are illustrative, and its answers and figures are not study results. Its pages work the way a real map’s do.
The founding cohort is open: ten seats, first come, first served.
