II. The framework

Sixty-three signals.
One score.

Every element in the Periodic Table of Digital Authority maps to a live data source. The Authority Engine reads all sixty-three and weights them according to the current version of the framework.

III. The reading

Four cards.
One Authority Score.

Every business has four dimensions of digital authority. The Engine scores each, then combines them into a single composite Authority Score — weighted by a published formula that evolves as the landscape changes.

The Authority Score is a weighted composite across the four Smart Cards, calibrated to reflect what actually drives AI recommendation. The exact weights and formula are protected as a trade secret.

IV. The choice

The score shows the opportunity.
The question is — fix it, or not?

Free shows where the brand stands. Tool Lite shows exactly what is holding it back. Full Fix Pack gives you everything required to fix it.

V. For platforms and agencies

Licence the framework.

Authority44 is available to licence for platforms, agencies, and SaaS tools that wish to embed a verified, IP-protected digital-authority scoring framework into their own product.

Read the licence terms →
i
White-label or embedded
Run as your own product, or embed the scoring engine via API into an existing platform.
ii
IP protection filed with IP Australia
The Periodic Table of Digital Authority and Authority44 are trade-mark applications filed with IP Australia, held by Digital Dominator Pty Ltd. You licence a framework with active IP protection — not a tool anyone can copy.
iii
Living framework, version-controlled
The methodology evolves as AI search evolves. Licensees receive framework version updates, not just data refreshes.
iv
No competing methodology
No other tool scores AI authority at the signal level. Semrush, Moz, and Ahrefs measure visibility outputs — not the input signals that drive them.
