Origin
The name tells the story.
Craton
The ancient, stable core of a continent, the bedrock that endures while everything around it shifts.
Meridian
A fixed line of reference, the standard from which all positions are measured.
AI is what this firm examines, not how it thinks. Every engagement is led by human analysis, real expertise, and direct interaction. AI accelerates the work. It does not replace it.
Craton Meridian was built on fifteen years of methodology refined across the full arc of digital reputation management, from the earliest days of search-driven narrative to the AI platforms now replacing it. The methodology endures. The standard of measurement evolves. This firm conducts what it believes to be the most comprehensive AI Integrity audit available today, every major model, tailored risk scoring, source tracing, and a compliance-grade deliverable designed for the boardroom.
The Practice
The founders of this firm reverse-engineered search algorithms in real time, decoded undocumented ranking signals, and rebuilt client reputations from the ground up while the platforms underneath them changed without warning or transparency. They served Fortune 25 companies and independent practices alike, across more than a dozen industries. That operational excellence is the foundation of everything delivered here.
Regulated industries demand this standard. So does this firm.
