ABOUT
THREE ESSENTIAL PARTS. A STRONGER BUSINESS.
The U.U.P. Moat Check helps business owners understand how prepared their company is for an AI-driven buying environment. It measures three parts of your position: whether AI can understand your business, whether AI can actually use your business to help customers, and whether you are building the evidence and testing needed to become preferred when AI has alternatives. When you're ready, CCA Certified Usable to AI independently proves that AI can actually use your business.
Gets you considered
AI understands what you do, who you help and when you're relevant.
Gets you called
AI can actually use your business to help a customer.
Gets you chosen
You build toward becoming the choice when AI has alternatives.
Understood gets you considered. Usable gets you called. Preferred gets you chosen.
CCA CERTIFIED USABLE TO AI
CCA tests your business against the kinds of questions your customers actually ask AI. We verify that AI can recognize when your business can help, call your business capability, use it successfully, and know when it shouldn't be used.
Self-assessment tells you where you stand. Certification proves usability.

WHAT CERTIFICATION PROVES
AI understands when your capability is relevant.
AI can call and use the capability.
AI can successfully complete the interaction.
AI knows when the capability isn't appropriate.
