Battlecard Retrieval Coverage Matrix 2026

Battlecard-level retrieval coverage matrix for Visa Atlas: competitor query clusters joined to target pages, page-action rows, answer surfaces, citation packs, AI retrieval prompts, experiments, snapshot protocols and evidence gates.

This matrix proves public retrieval asset coverage by query cluster. It is not a ranking, traffic, backlink, AI-citation, citation-share, market-share or 500k/month outcome claim.

Join and scoring method

Rows are derived from public competitor query battlecards and joined to market-share capture-plan rows, SEO/GEO page-action rows, AI retrieval tasks, AI retrieval readiness rows, battlecard search experiments, SERP/AI snapshot protocols and quarterly market-share baseline rows.

Join rules

  • Battlecards join to the market-share capture plan, battlecard search experiments, snapshot protocols and quarterly market-share baseline by battlecardId.
  • Page-action rows join when rows[].battlecardIds contains the battlecardId.
  • AI retrieval tasks join when rows[].competitorBattlecards contains the battlecardId; readiness rows then join by taskId.
  • Answer capsules, citation packs and calculator contexts are counted from joined page-action rows so page-level and battlecard-level coverage reconcile.
  • Outcome evidence is never inferred from public retrieval coverage; approvedForPublication=true aggregate evidence is required separately.

Scoring model

  • Page-action coverage carries 20 points because every target page must be production-controlled.
  • Citation-pack coverage carries 20 points because answer engines need compact citable facts for every target page.
  • Answer-surface coverage carries 15 points because no page should remain needs-page-answer before measurement.
  • AI task readiness carries 20 points because benchmark prompts must be retrieval-ready before citation-share review.
  • Experiment, snapshot and quarterly baseline contracts carry 15 points because they define how private evidence becomes reviewed aggregate proof.
  • Claim gates carry 10 points because public outcome claims must remain blocked without approved evidence.

A score of 95 or higher proves public retrieval-asset coverage only. It does not prove rankings, traffic, backlinks, AI citations, citation share, market share or the 500k/month planning target.

Battlecard coverage table

Rows are ordered by the source battlecard list. The status separates public retrieval readiness from external outcome evidence.
