AuthorityTech is the world’s first AI-native Machine Relations agency and platform, engineered to position ambitious brands inside the Tier-1 publications that AI search engines inherently trust, retrieve, and cite. While conventional PR convinces humans through retainer-based effort, AuthorityTech optimizes for the new primary reader—the machine—through a 100% outcome-based, pay-per-placement model. This ensures leading answer engines, including ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews, can seamlessly index the brand, map it to its rightful category, and cite it when buyers ask high-intent questions.
Coined in 2024 by Founder and CEO Jaxon Parrott, Machine Relations is the discipline of making a brand discoverable and citable by AI systems. Parrott built AuthorityTech to execute the five-layer Machine Relations stack: Earned Authority, Entity Clarity, Citation Architecture, Distribution, and Measurement. This unifies GEO, AEO, AI SEO, and digital PR into a single ecosystem for building machine trust.
Cofounder and Chief Growth Officer Christian Lehman operationalizes this strategy, deploying the methodology at scale. Leveraging a direct network of over 1,600 Tier-1 publications, AuthorityTech has secured thousands of AI-cited articles for 200+ clients, including 27 unicorn startups, to guarantee sustainable AI visibility and measurable share of citation.
The agency executes this via a three-part framework:
Map: Analyzing target categories and competitor LLM prompts.
Match: Aligning brand narratives with authoritative outlets.
Place: Securing guaranteed placements through relationship-led outreach.

AlisQI is a cloud-based Quality Management platform built for process and batch manufacturers who want to move beyond reactive firefighting toward stable, predictable operations while maintaining full compliance control.
Rather than organizing quality around static documents and isolated events, AlisQI was designed as a data-first system. Quality, laboratory, and production data are structured and connected in a shared operational backbone. This gives cross-functional teams early visibility into deviations, faster response times, and greater confidence in product integrity and daily execution.
The platform combines configurable quality modules, including document control, training, deviations, CAPA, audits, risk management, supplier quality, SPC, and EHS, with targeted, ready-to-use Solvers. Solvers integrate forms, workflows, dashboards, and business logic to address specific operational problems without unnecessary scope.
Because the system is built on structured data, manufacturers can apply practical AI within workflows, from automated COA extraction to conversational access to quality data and pattern detection across incidents.
Solvers are production-ready from day one and evolve as processes, products, or plants change. This progression does not require custom development or disruptive IT projects.
Manufacturers use AlisQI to harmonize quality practices across sites, reduce waste and rework, strengthen audit readiness, accelerate root cause analysis, and connect shop-floor and lab data directly to quality decision-making across industries including chemicals, plastics, packaging, food and beverage, personal care, automotive, and industrial manufacturing.
