ELI RESEARCH
AI search to revenue benchmark: separate visibility from business evidence
Recommendation, referral, demo and closed revenue are distinct evidence stages.
No public AI-to-revenue benchmark yet. No conversion averages are invented.
RELEASE STANDARD
Methodology is publishable before findings are.
Eli can publish the question universe, schema, definitions and quality controls before a benchmark release. It will only publish an aggregate when the underlying observations are complete, reviewable and described with their coverage and limitations. Until then, this page makes no performance, ranking or customer-outcome claim.
Evidence layers
AI answer proves visibility; referral supports direct attribution; website action proves conversion; CRM needs identity/join logic; revenue requires confirmed business system evidence.
Future design
If data exists, publish AI referral to qualified action/opportunity, AI-influenced opportunity, time to conversion and stage differences with denominators/attribution rules.
Why separate
Dark funnel and multi-touch make perfect attribution impossible. Evidence tiers prevent one score from claiming too much.

No universal number without dataset.
