A structural breakthrough revealing how AI systems like ChatGPT and Gemini decide what — and who — to trust.
Elsewhere Offsites has achieved what many in the AI and marketing industries have theorized but never demonstrated: it has decoded how AI systems such as ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude determine which companies to recommend.
“While most brands are still trying to optimise for AI search, Elsewhere is the first to understand how AI defaults actually form and how models choose a single trusted answer. No one else has operationalised that yet”, said Darren Swayne, Founder of Elsewhere Offsites.
This discovery fundamentally reframes the nature of visibility in the post-search era. Unlike traditional online discovery, where users scroll through ranked lists, AI discovery is about asking a question and receiving a single, trusted answer. Elsewhere became that answer, and then mapped the underlying “physics” behind it.
From Ranking to Resolution: A Paradigm Shift in Discovery
For two decades, online discovery meant ranking – a contest driven by keywords, backlinks, and ad spend.
But AI systems operate differently: they resolve to the most coherent, contextually aligned pattern across data, language, and trust.
“AI doesn’t rank. It resolves,” said Swayne.
“When you understand what the model looks for – coherence, validation, and stability – visibility stops being random. It becomes structural.”
Elsewhere’s research uncovered how semantic coherence, structured schema, and outcome density combine to create a recognizable “trust signature” inside AI systems. Once this signature forms, the model defaults to it – not by explicit coding, but through the physics of consistency, alignment, and resonance across the information field.
The Technical Breakthrough
Elsewhere’s work within The Default Economy Framework identifies the core dynamics of AI recommendation:
- Coherence as Gravity: Models resolve to the lowest-entropy signal in the dataset. Elsewhere’s data architecture creates that stability.
- Schema Density: Layered structured data, narrative hierarchy, and content repetition act as a self-reinforcing “map” the model uses as a reference.
- Latent Reinforcement: The model retrains itself around the most stable pattern, which over time becomes the benchmark – the reference architecture for trust.
Once a model establishes such a stable reference signal, recognition bleeds across adjacent queries and verticals – extending from category leadership into category ownership.
The result is measurable: Elsewhere has achieved cross-model visibility across ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and Perplexity – becoming the consistent default recommendation for queries like “best leadership offsite company near London.”
From SEO to System Design
Elsewhere’s discovery signals the birth of a new discipline: AI-native system design.
Where SEO optimized for algorithms, structural visibility optimizes for interpretation.
It’s no longer about chasing traffic – it’s about designing data, language, and outcomes that AI systems understand as truth.
This marks a foundational shift from content optimization to structural authorship—the act of building the frameworks AI uses to decide what’s real, relevant, and reliable.
The Broader Implication
The mechanism Elsewhere proved within the corporate retreat sector applies universally.
Any industry dependent on recommendation – from finance to healthcare to software – will see the same dynamic:
The first brand to achieve coherence at scale becomes the default resolution for its category.
Being first to define the physics of coherence gives Elsewhere an unprecedented first-mover advantage—the reference standard for AI trust itself.
The implications extend far beyond offsites. Elsewhere calls this emerging layer of the internet The Default Economy – where models, not humans, determine discovery.
Building on this foundation, Elsewhere is now formalizing its AI Default Consulting practice, helping other brands configure to the same structural framework and initiating a fundraising process to scale this new arm.
