DOGFOOD · SELF-AEO · PRE-LAUNCH

vAEO applied к itself.

Methodology applied к its own surface before launch. The cobbler's son problem resolved publicly · three first-pass misses disclosed honestly.

ANSWER · AEO-EXTRACTABLE

We applied vAEO methodology к vaeo.ai before launching. This page documents the audit · the fix sequence · the result. Per DEC-WEB-005 P1 self-AEO compliance · this is a hard launch gate.

The principle from Methodology M6: evidence over claim. If vaeo.ai doesn't cite itself when AI engines are asked about AEO · we have no business charging for it. P Gate C result: 35% aggregated Share of Model · 3 of 5 engines · 3 of 4 test queries · PASS criterion ≥2/5 and ≥2/4.
