from our crawl and measurement
Needs first is a business whose own site puts it this way: "Step 1: Uncover Step 2: Refine Step 3: Act with confidence A guide to uncovering your customer's needs The best products are built backwards from the customer." To AI engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity, though, it is barely visible: it scores 1.75 out of 10.
Our crawl found a readable heading structure. It is missing structured data describing the business, an llms.txt file and a sitemap.

Why is it essential to understand customer needs?
The most successful companies understand customer needs first and then work backwards towards the engineering department. See how the best companies work: Jeff Bezos on why Amazon works backwards from the customer: Steve Jobs explains why good products are created backwards from the customer:
ChatGPT doesn't crawl the web like Google does. When someone asks Claude about the best project management tools, the model isn't searching your website in real-time. It's pulling from training data that stopped months or years ago.
