Send a case for careful review
Vetro Source Lab reads useful messages closely: confusing AI answers, Italian-English retrieval problems, weak citations, branch mix-ups, category drift and business identity substitutions. The contact form is the right place for a short description, a prompt example, the business or place involved and the public sources that seem relevant. Cases with name, city, province, branch or category uncertainty are especially close to the lab's work.
Common questions
What does Vetro Source Lab study?
The lab studies how generative AI systems retrieve, cite, confuse and omit Italian companies, brands and places. Its focus is identity: name, place, branch, category and source support. It looks at generated answers as evidence trails rather than as simple rankings.
What does the lab not do?
The lab does not run advertising campaigns, manage search accounts or promise placement in AI answers. It also does not treat one prompt result as a complete diagnosis. Its work is observational, comparative and focused on public evidence.
How should readers use the research notes?
Read each note as a worked example of how an answer may have been assembled. The useful part is often the method: what was recorded, which source supported which claim, and where the identity began to drift.
Can someone suggest a topic for review?
Yes. The lab welcomes topic suggestions when they involve Italian businesses, brands, places, categories or bilingual answer paths. A strong suggestion includes the prompt used, the generated answer, the business identity in question and any public sources that seem relevant.
Does the lab answer individual requests?
The lab replies when a request fits its research focus and can be assessed from public evidence. Some messages may receive only a short scoping response. The team avoids private claims that cannot be checked against public sources.
How long does a reply usually take?
The lab answers in batches rather than as an instant support desk. Straightforward messages usually receive a shorter reply first, while complex case suggestions may need a slower review before the team can say whether the topic fits.
Which languages are available?
The site is available in English and Italian. The lab compares Italian and English answer paths because both can shape how Italian businesses are retrieved, cited and described in generated answers.
A confusing AI answer is often the first trace of a source problem.
