The TrendAxis Weekly
Original research on how AI systems recommend brands and why they choose your competitor instead of you. Every Monday.
What You Get
What’s Inside Each Issue
Market Intelligence. What happened this week across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity. Platform updates, industry shifts, and AI news that affects how brands get recommended.
Featured Research. A deep dive into one aspect of AI recommendation: structural fixes, evidence strategies, attribution gaps, or diagnostic frameworks. Original analysis, not recycled content.
Founder’s Notes. What I’m learning from building Axis Suite and scanning how AI systems actually behave. Real observations from the trenches, not theory from the sidelines.
The Evidence Audit. A practical exercise you can run this week. Specific questions, specific diagnostics, specific actions. Designed to take 15 minutes or less.
Caffeinated Wisdom. A short story that translates the week’s AI recommendation concept into something anyone can understand. Usually involves coffee. Always ends with “Stay steady.”

The newsletter is where I share what I’m learning from building in this space: which structural fixes actually move the needle, how AI platforms are evolving, what the evidence shows, and what I got wrong along the way.
