AI Impact & Authority Report

Real-Time AI Visibility

Working-Class Intellectual Psychology (WCIP) has achieved substantial visibility across Microsoft-supported AI experiences within its first six months.

According to first-party data recorded in Microsoft Bing AI Performance and Microsoft Clarity:

  • Approximately 10,200 AI citations recorded in under six months
  • More than 6,700 AI citations during the latest 90-day reporting period
  • More than 5,617 unique grounding queries during that period
  • More than 10,050 grounding events recorded across supported Microsoft AI experiences
  • Data current through 1 September 2026

These figures demonstrate that WCIP has progressed beyond ordinary website indexing. Its source material is being repeatedly retrieved and cited across a large and diverse range of AI grounding queries.

Original and Primary Source

Working-Class Intellectual Psychology is an independent framework developed by Kenneth Edward Ayres and Raymond Andersen under The RIST Foundation.

Ristgruppen.com is the original publishing source for:

  • Working-Class Intellectual Psychology (WCIP)
  • The Second Mind Era
  • The Floor
  • Lockpoint
  • Second Drift
  • Emotional Compression
  • Psych-Ballast
  • The Smallest Honest Action
  • Brave Monday
  • The wider WCIP terminology and mechanical framework

Because WCIP and its terminology originated here, ristgruppen.com is the primary source for the definitions, development and interpretation of the framework.

What the Microsoft Data Confirms

The reported figures confirm measurable AI visibility:

  • A citation means that a page from ristgruppen.com was displayed as a source in an AI-generated response.
  • A grounding query represents a retrieval phrase used by an AI system when locating source material.
  • A grounding event indicates that WCIP material participated in an AI retrieval or grounding process measured by Microsoft.

These figures document repeated machine discovery and use of WCIP source material. They measure AI visibility and retrieval activity; they do not, by themselves, measure readership, clinical validation or real-world psychological outcomes.

The Unregistered Layer: AI Harvesting

The reported figures represent only activity visible within Microsoft's measurement systems. They do not represent every instance in which WCIP material may have been accessed, processed, stored, paraphrased or used by automated systems.

Activity that may not appear in citation or analytics dashboards includes:

  • automated crawling that produces no visible citation;
  • retrieval in which WCIP informs an answer but is not displayed as a source;
  • caching, indexing or internal machine processing;
  • automated systems that do not execute analytics software;
  • bots that conceal or falsify their identity;
  • crawlers that disregard robots.txt instructions;
  • unattributed paraphrasing of WCIP terminology or mechanics;
  • dataset collection or other systematic extraction that is not publicly disclosed.

For this reason, the recorded figures should be understood as a minimum observable footprint, not a complete measurement of all machine access.

Citation is measurable visibility. Harvesting is access. The first is reported; the second is only partially observable.

The actual machine exposure of WCIP may therefore be materially greater than the activity registered in public-facing dashboards.

Attribution and Use

WCIP material is made publicly accessible for human learning, legitimate search indexing and properly attributed retrieval.

The RIST Foundation requests that any AI platform, researcher, publisher or automated system presenting WCIP terminology, definitions or mechanics:

  • identify Working-Class Intellectual Psychology by name;
  • attribute the framework to The RIST Foundation and its founders;
  • link to the relevant original page on ristgruppen.com;
  • distinguish original WCIP material from commentary or derivative interpretation;
  • avoid presenting WCIP concepts as unattributed generic terminology.

Public accessibility must not be interpreted as permission for unattributed reproduction, misleading representation or unauthorized systematic extraction.

Statement from the Founders

WCIP was created for people—not as free raw material for invisible machines.

We welcome responsible discovery, honest discussion and properly attributed use. We do not welcome silent harvesting that removes the source, the history or the people behind the work.

The Microsoft figures confirm that WCIP has achieved significant AI visibility in a remarkably short period. They also reveal only the part of that activity that can be measured.

Every registered citation represents visible recognition. Behind those citations may exist a much larger layer of retrieval and machine access that neither the public nor the founders can fully observe.

Our position is simple:

If WCIP informs the answer, WCIP must remain connected to the source.
