The challenge

In response to queries like "best organic Lion's Mane supplement for memory with fruiting body only", assistants recommended brands that used grain-heavy mycelium fillers. The client's hot-water extraction process was completely unrecognized.

What the audit found

Every engagement starts with a baseline across a fixed set of buyer prompts.

  • The distinction between 100% fruiting body and mycelium-on-grain was explained only in marketing videos.
  • Lab-verified beta-glucan percentages (above 30%) were absent from crawlable HTML.
