Loops

The five loops

None of these can run on a single surface, which is why no single-surface tool can do this.

In plain words

What each loop does

01

GEO gap to citation

A question where AI engines name a rival and not you becomes an article, the article is amplified on social, and g records the day an engine first cites it.

02

Paid teaches organic

Ad terms that convert become tracked questions and search targets.

03

Reviews shape the voice

The words customers use in reviews shape your voice, your Google listing and the on-site answers AI engines quote.

04

Leads sharpen the audience

Companies identified on your site refine who you are for, which sharpens topics and targeting.

05

Social sets the topics

Posts that earn engagement tell Quill what the market cares about this week.

03

Measurement

How a loop is measured

Every action records what it did, against a baseline, with a window fixed before approval and a significance test after.

After any action, the channel records what it changed and what it learned, and when the measurement window closes, what the action did, measured against a baseline with significance.

No action completes without writing back what it changed, what it learned and, when the measurement window closes, what it did.

Orbit approves each step. Nothing goes live without a yes.

04

Note

The Citation Loop

The Citation Loop is the measurement view of Loop 1 inside the Scoreboard; it is unchanged.

01

The Citation Loop

A compounding cycle where content earns citations, citations build authority, and authority makes the next citation more likely.

02

GEO gap to citation

What g measures: Days to first AI citation; presence on the question at 28 days.
