The test

Producer surface survives. Retail owns the close.

Wave 7 measured Beiersdorf Eucerin Sun Sensitive Protect Face SPF 50+ across Cody Gate-1 (3 providers, 18 datapoints, German queries, AI Visibility 34.44, 0 errors) and a fleet wave Phase 2 (HTTP + coding agents, committed_partial). Phase 3 browser and Phase 4 ACT not executed this wave. The Phase 2 ceiling extraction reached the locked SKU page on eucerin.de and confirmed PZN 00802461, LSF 50+, the parfümfrei claim, and UVA/UVB protection language. The exact UVA-PF numeric was not surfaced explicitly on the SKU page; the EU UVA-logo standard referenced on the brand surface implies UVA-PF >= 1/3 SPF but agents reading the raw page do not see the number. The brand-own purchase locator routes buyers to local and online partner pharmacies; the transaction completes at dm, Rossmann, Müller, Shop-Apotheke, DocMorris, or Amazon.

Found, and able to transact?

Two questions, measured separately. A brand can be recommended and still un-buyable, or perfectly buyable and never found.

AI Visibility

When someone asks an agent to buy a product, does it route to Beiersdorf?

34 / 100

Beiersdorf comes up about a third of the time. The rest of the time, an agent recommends an alternative first.

Discoverability · 18-datapoint audit
AI Usability

Once an agent is on Beiersdorf's site, can it verify the sun-protection claim on the product page?

39 / 100

Search-class agents surface the documentation in some runs; the full agent-fleet access profile lands in a later wave.

Evidence · 65 / 100 A measure of how provable and consistent the result is, grounded in cross-method ground-truth agreement (the methods that ran returned the same price), not a separate measured run. A confidence layer on the two scores above, not a third sales axis.

What's next

What this means for Beiersdorf.

Diagnosis

On product discovery, Beiersdorf is not lacking findability — AI Visibility 34.44 places Beiersdorf mid-pack across openai/perplexity/anthropic. The locked claim combination (LSF 50+ + parfümfrei + sensible Haut + UVA/UVB) all surfaces accurately on the eucerin.de SKU page. The gap is not the brand-own surface — it is the German derma-cosmetic retail mode: SPF 50+ for sensitive-skin queries route through dm / Rossmann / Müller / Apotheke listings or Amazon search rather than eucerin.de directly. The Beiersdorf surface owns the product claim and the ingredient list — the retail intermediary owns the price, the variant selection, and the purchase. If the agent reaches eucerin.de, the question is whether the locked claim (SPF 50+ AND parfümfrei AND for-sensitive-skin) surfaces accurately on the product page.

What changes the outcome

What changes the outcome is closing the surface-to-close gap. Phase 2 confirmed the brand-own page surfaces the locked claim cleanly. The remaining gap is on the channel side: the agent reaches eucerin.de, reads the claim, then routes the buy through dm / Rossmann / Müller / Apotheke / Amazon. Named Hyperize offerings here: Answer Pages on "Welche Sonnencreme SPF 50+ für sensible Haut?" that route directly to the brand-own claim verification, plus Reference Pages that make the UVA-PF numeric and the partner-pharmacy locator agent-readable rather than human-readable.

What proof looks like

The proof isn't more content. It's a repeatable lift in whether agents find, verify, cite, recommend, and complete the brand journey directly — re-measured each wave.

Fairness note

Wave 7 Q2 2026 partial measurement. Single task (Beiersdorf Eucerin Sun Sensitive Protect Face SPF 50+, documentation_ready close, 50ml SKU, locked spec: SPF 50+ + UVA-PF ≥1/3 SPF + parfümfrei + sensible Haut). AI Visibility from Cody Gate-1 (34.44, 18/18 valid datapoints across openai/perplexity/anthropic, DE language, 0 errors). AI Usability derived from a fleet wave Phase 2 partial (HTTP + Coding partial; Phase 3 browser + Phase 4 ACT not executed this wave). Fairness Review pending the sector fairness grid.

Methodology

How the score was produced.

Discoverability is audit-pipeline-derived. 3-provider sample (openai, perplexity, anthropic), 3 query variants per task, 2 runs per variant · 18 valid datapoints scored against a five-state handoff cascade. [S1]

AI Usability is derived from the access-profile above (usability-derivation/v1): how far the best agent reached (close state) modulated by how many agent classes succeeded. The per-class profile is the truth; the score is a reproducible summary of it, not a separate rating. Fleet phases (HTTP / Coding / Browser / ACT) produce the profile. [S2]

Formula

Agent Success Score = (AI Visibility × 0.20) + (AI Usability × 0.70) + (Evidence × 0.10)

On a 0–100 scale, displayed 0–10. AI Usability bundles the agent's reach + completion; AI Visibility is audit-derived discoverability. Weighting is public; the per-prompt derivation is not.

Measurement scope

Confidence C · one measured task on a 3-provider track (openai, perplexity, anthropic). Confidence promotes to B with a second task plus a fourth provider on the next wave.
