The Open Model Project

The Open Model Project describes itself simply: "We believe that better election forecasting and transparency are important. Play with the inputs to our model to understand how it works and see how the predictions change." To AI engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity, though, it is barely visible: it scores 3.2 out of 10.

On the page itself the strengths are clear: a clear heading structure. It is passable on basic crawler access and partial sitemap and link coverage. What holds it back is a clearly stated business identity, structured data describing the business and credibility markers like credentials or reviews.

Off the page there is only faint evidence that the domain is only lightly established. Beyond that, almost no other sites link to it, 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.
