IEO Engine Deployment for Consulting Firm

This page describes how IEO Engine methodology applies to consulting firm. The core methodology is unchanged across verticals — content architecture, schema implementation, gate intelligence, and inference layer authority engineering operate on the same principles regardless of industry. The vertical-specific elements are the content categories, citation target queries, and the topical authority structure that maps to how AI citation engines classify sources within the field.
