Send a retrieval question to the lab
Indexe Clair reads requests that fit its research focus: French business evidence, AI search retrieval, source trails, indexing visibility, query language and conflicting public records. The lab is best suited to cases where public evidence exists in several places but surfaces unevenly in AI search. Requests are handled through the site form only, so the team can review the evidence trail before replying.
Questions people ask
What does Indexe Clair study?
Indexe Clair studies how AI search systems retrieve French business evidence before an answer is written. The lab looks at pages, listings, source trails, language variants, ranking conflicts and the four retrieval gates a business must pass.
What does the lab not do?
The lab does not run advertising campaigns, write promotional copy or promise placement inside AI answers. Its work is research-oriented: observing retrieval behavior, comparing traces and explaining limits.
How should readers use the research notes?
Readers should treat each note as a documented observation with interpretation attached. The lab shows what was surfaced, what was ignored and what pattern may be forming, without asking one case to carry more weight than it can.
Can someone suggest a topic or business category?
Yes. The lab welcomes suggestions when the case involves French SMB evidence spread across several sources, such as an owned site, directory pages, reviews, regional mentions or sector listings. A useful suggestion includes the business category, location framing and the retrieval question.
Does the lab answer individual requests?
The team reviews requests through the contact form and answers when the question fits the research focus. Some requests may become private replies; others may point toward a broader research note if the pattern is useful to more readers.
How long does an answer usually take?
The lab does not treat the form as live support. It usually replies after the team has read the request and checked whether the case can be examined responsibly.
A good request starts with the evidence trail.
