Critical Path

Critical Path is a business whose own site puts it this way: "A personal blog that contains stuff of interest to Hrvoje Butina. Deep dives into ASIC design & verification. And some shallow dives into the embedded and low-level development." To AI engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity it is close to invisible, scoring 2.0 out of 10.

On the page it is passable on a partly stated business identity and basic crawler access. What holds it back is structured data describing the business, sitemaps and entity links AI can follow, a heading structure that lays out what it offers and credibility markers like credentials or reviews.

Off the page, almost no other sites link to it, the domain does not yet read as established, 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.

The site links to no social profiles, so there is nothing tying the brand to a wider presence.
