Chan Lab

Chan Lab, based in New York, NY, describes itself simply: "We study how these processes unfold, with a focus on gastrointestinal cancers." To AI engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity it is close to invisible, scoring 2.9 out of 10.

On the page itself the strengths are clear: a clearly stated business identity. It is passable on some structured data. What holds it back is a heading structure that lays out what it offers, the technical files AI engines look for, such as llms.txt or an open robots.txt, credibility markers like credentials or reviews and sitemaps and entity links AI can follow.

Off the page there is only faint evidence that only a handful of sites link to it and 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 2 times in our tracking, including ClaudeBot (Anthropic). There is not much on the page to read either, about 111 words. The site links to no social profiles, so there is nothing tying the brand to a wider presence.
