A Live Scholarly-Discovery Baseline
XEO is applying discovery companion infrastructure to Sonny Saggar’s real SSRN portfolio.
What is Being Tested
We are testing whether structured publication companion pages, machine-readable discovery indexes, and entity relationship mappings improve how search engines and LLM RAG pipelines discover, index, and retrieve scholarly papers.
What Has Changed (Interventions)
- Companion pages active: Structured pages active on `hub.newphysician.org`.
- Discovery indexes deployed: Machine-readable sitemaps (`llms.txt`) registered.
- Baseline Snapshots: Baseline data points locked for comparison.
What the Current Evidence Establishes
A verified public baseline now exists. The first snapshot records 14 publications, 1,050 cumulative abstract views, and 305 downloads. This establishes a transparent starting point for future measurement.
What the Current Evidence Cannot Establish
Causation cannot yet be claimed. The traffic recorded in this baseline is cumulative historical traffic and was not caused by XEO. Attributable change rates can only be measured after subsequent post-deployment snapshots are compared.
Timeline & Snapshot History
Methodology Disclosure
SSRN metrics are compiled manually from the official author dashboard of Sonny Saggar. Ingestion events are logged and verified inside the Operations Center database. Companion page indexing crawls are assessed via search console data.
