Research status
Six records first. Evidence before scale.
Adult Web Index is running a bounded production-domain pilot to learn whether source-backed records create measurable discovery value for public adult-market resources.
What is being tested
Six new records are paired with six comparable unpublished controls. The experiment measures actual indexing, search impressions and clicks, verified crawler fetches, official-site referrals, accurate retrieval or citation, and documented brand mentions.
Why only six
The publication stays deliberately small so weak evidence, incorrect claims or technical failures can stop the experiment before a larger index is created. The cohort does not overlap the six pages on the separate research origin.
How results are judged
Each pilot is compared with its own prepublication baseline and controls. Differences between the two origins are exploratory because their resources and publication dates are different. No result is treated as a promise of ranking, traffic, recommendation or AI citation.
Commercial boundary
The pilot is unpaid. Corrections and removal are free. A future paid activation can only cover outputs Adult Web Index controls; payment cannot buy invented facts or a third-party visibility guarantee.
