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.

Deckmetric
Deckmetric offers a web-based tool designed for startup founders who are getting ready to secure funding by analyzing their pitch decks. Users can upload their presentations in formats such as PDF, PPTX, or DOCX to receive a complimentary Lite assessment, which evaluates their deck according to the Shepard&Young Captivate-Validate-Motivate framework along with nine established venture-capital benchmarks, identifying both strengths and significant weaknesses. The Premium version enhances this experience by providing detailed feedback on each slide, assessing visual design, comparing investor fit, prioritizing revisions, suggesting rewrites, guiding deck order, and allowing for version comparisons. Additionally, users have the option to revise and re-upload their decks for further analysis and can access outreach templates and fundraising strategies to prepare for discussions with potential investors. It's important to note that the analysis serves as a supportive tool for refining pitches rather than a guarantee of funding or an endorsement from investors. Ultimately, Deckmetric empowers founders to improve their presentations and increase their chances of success in attracting investment.
