Collusion

Collusion is a business whose own site puts it this way: "Launched in 2018, COLLUSION has been shaped by a new generation of creatives who are unafraid to demand something different from fashion." To AI engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity, though, it is barely visible: it scores 4.3 out of 10.

The page falls short on the technical files AI engines look for, such as llms.txt or an open robots.txt, sitemaps and entity links AI can follow, structured data describing the business, a heading structure that lays out what it offers, a clearly stated business identity and credibility markers like credentials or reviews.

Away from its own site, other sites link to it. There is some, but not much, sign that the domain is only lightly established. Beyond that, AI engines do not yet recognise it as a distinct business, there is no press coverage to draw on, nobody is discussing it where AI engines look and it does not come up on Reddit. Those are earned elsewhere on the web, not fixed on the site itself.

AI crawlers have visited 5 times in our tracking, including ClaudeBot (Anthropic) and AmazonBot (Alexa AI). There is not much on the page to read either, about 76 words.
