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.

Compliance work eats engineering time. Hyperproof exists to give that time back by automating the parts of GRC that don't need a human: pulling evidence out of GitHub, Jira, ServiceNow, Snyk, and cloud storage on a schedule, running recurring tests against high-frequency controls, and kicking off a task automatically the moment something fails instead of waiting for the next audit cycle to find out.
Under the hood, Hyperproof maps one control to 160+ frameworks (SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, NIST, and others), so a control tested once can satisfy several standards instead of forcing teams to rebuild the same work per framework. AI agents handle the first pass on evidence review and gap-flagging, leaving humans to make the actual judgment calls rather than hunting down documentation.
Teams using it report cutting audit prep by roughly 350 hours a year, a 66% drop in duplicate controls, and about $150K saved annually on control orchestration. It also scales to messier org charts, with the ability to scope controls by business unit or entity instead of flattening everything into one program.
Built in 2018 out of the Seattle area, Hyperproof is used by engineering and security-heavy orgs like Reddit, Fortinet, Appian, and Outreach that are tired of treating compliance as a manual, spreadsheet-and-email process and want it to run more like the rest of their infrastructure: automated, monitored, and auditable.
