M1 · Own AI-visibility 2 · 9%

Absent from category recall on both engines. Brand recall thin/self-sourced on both: ChatGPT — 'présence web réelle mais informations presque exclusivement du site de l'agence; pas de couverture indépendante importante'; Claude — 'entité juridique vérifiable (SARL BAMBOO, SIREN 995 266 236, RCS La Rochelle, très récent) mais aucun avis ni retour tiers; argument GEO réduit à la mention AIO intégré.'

M2 · Method transparency 3 · 16%

Deliverables are listed per pack — "Audit SEO complet", "Optimisation technique on-page", "Stratégie de mots-clés locale", "Optimisation pour ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude & Perplexity", "Rapport de positionnement mensuel", "Dashboard de suivi IA dédié", quarterly coaching — but they read as feature bullets; there is no step-by-step method page or measurement detail. source ↗

M3 · Evidence verifiability 2 · 23%

No named clients, case studies with URLs, or attributed testimonials on the reviewed content — a "Nos réalisations" link exists but client names and before/afters are absent. Checkable proof not surfaced. source ↗

M4 · Pricing openness 5 · 12%

Full published prices — Pack Vitrine €1,800 HT, Business €3,500 HT, Excellence €4,900 HT, Excellence Premium €6,500 HT, plus Pack SEO+ €149 HT/mo and Pack AIO+ €249 HT/mo (12-month minimum). source ↗

M5 · AI reachability — · 10%

Automated GPTBot-UA fetch returns 503 while a plain curl gets 200 — likely a Cloudflare fingerprint, not a deliberate block; unconfirmed, pending a real-crawler check. · provisional

E1 · Segment fit 5 · 12%

editorial — Squarely SMB — explicitly for "artisans, TPE et PME à La Rochelle", with an FAQ about adapting to TPE/PME budgets. No enterprise process. source ↗

E2 · Promise cleanliness 3 · 18%

editorial — No guarantee or money-back, but unevidenced superiority and soft-assurance copy — "pionnier en AIO en France", "double expertise SEO+AIO", and "on s'assure qu'il vous trouve" (we ensure they find you). Marketing puffery, nothing false or guaranteed. source ↗

◧ M1 cross-engine — ChatGPT: self-sourced-thin — real web presence but info almost exclusively own site · Claude: self-sourced-thin — legal entity verifiable (SARL BAMBOO, recent SIREN) but no third-party reviews · recorded, not averaged

A clearly SMB-focused La Rochelle studio with fully transparent pricing and a real AIO subscription (engine optimisation + tracking dashboard). It scores in the middle because the substance behind it is thin: feature-bullet deliverables rather than a documented method (M2), no named/checkable client proof (M3), and "pioneer / we ensure they find you" puffery that holds E2 down. Own-visibility (M1) is provisional pending the Phase-2 probe.

What this ruler does NOT measure Track-record depth and the volume of named cases favour older incumbents we cannot fully see; NDA-bound outcomes are unscored. We weight reproducible, buyer-checkable signal on purpose — and we list ourselves on the same ruler.
