RankWithMe.ai is a research lab that happens to build things.
Every methodology, every tool, every entity record in our federation graph traces back to original research. We work at the frontier of web science and artificial intelligence — exploring how these fields cross-pollinate with adjacent disciplines including cognitive science, biological systems, adversarial defense, graph theory, and linked data architecture. The research comes first. The builds follow.
Our work is grounded in direct observation. We build the systems we study — crawlers, extraction pipelines, entity classifiers, knowledge graphs — and we run them against the real web until the data tells us something worth publishing. We are treasure hunters by operating mode. Kanji and LarryBrin are the characters that represent the two sides of that work — the translation layer and the discovery layer. Both are real representations of real systems.
We publish findings as they emerge — results that support our hypotheses and results that challenge them. Both serve the same purpose. Learning how the machine layer of the internet actually behaves, and how businesses can navigate the shift into the AI era with clarity rather than guesswork, requires honest data in both directions.
We issue this plainly: we do not guarantee outcomes for our clients or for the entities in our federation graph. What we guarantee is rigor. Every entity we build has provenance. Every claim we publish has a source. Every result we share is real — dated, screenshotted, and publicly verifiable at live-progress.html.
If you are a business owner, an SEO agency, a developer, or a researcher trying to understand what is actually happening at the machine layer of the internet in the age of AI — this is the right place.
