> The AI answer simulator shows how a fictional physio, plumber, cafe, accountant or law business might be described as you switch on four steps: Reachable, Readable, Understood and Citable. It is simulated, no assistant is queried and no mention is guaranteed.

 Simulated. The businesses are fictional and no AI assistant is being asked. Real answers vary by assistant, by run and by day, and no mention is guaranteed.
## How do I read it?
 Choose a type of business and a question a customer might ask. Then switch on the four things one at a time. Each one changes what the simulated AI says about the fictional business. With none switched on, the AI cannot get in and names someone else. With all four on, it names the business, gets the facts right and quotes it.
 The business names are made up and no AI assistant is being asked. It is a way to see why each step matters, not a prediction of any real answer.
