Locked English buying-prompt panel (v1)

This page publishes MentionBench Consulting LLC’s locked English buying-prompt panel used for the public self case study and as the shape of the success ruler inside one AEO/GEO Engagement (Diagnosis / On-site improvement / Bounded off-site). Assess → Improve → Review are optional 1:1 aliases only—not three sellable tiers. We do not sell Sprint / Monitor / Defend as public products.

A locked panel means the prompt set is frozen before you claim before/after. Client Engagements lock a written panel for that engagement; it need not match this public v1 set. This page is the public self-case panel and a sample form—not every client’s panel.

Scoring & Pending rule

Success on Engagement (and on the self-case shortlist claim) is mention rate and citation rate on the same locked panel:

Prompt set: N. Before: X/N. After: Y/N.

Until a real retest is published, Before and After stay Pending. We do not invent X/N, Y/N, SOV leadership, rank position, every-AI-answer occupancy, or treat secondary summary percentages as lift. Retest is accountability for before/after—not a guarantee that rates will rise.

Brand and tool names that appear inside a prompt are buyer question wording (e.g. Profound, Semrush, Sprint in a hire question). They are not a claim that MentionBench measured this panel with a named third-party product stack on this page.
