The Two-Clock Model: A Research Paper on the Perception Gap in Answer Engine Optimization

Expands the Two-Clock Model framework into a fully cited research paper — grounded in published research on LLM knowledge cutoffs, temporal misalignment, retrieval freshness, and generative engine optimisation. Explains the mechanisms behind why a structural AEO score and AI perception move at different speeds, with a working diagnostic for telling a normal lag apart from a genuine problem.

The next white paper in this series publishes in two weeks. Check back, or follow AISearch Global on LinkedIn for the release.
