About this framework

A structured signal model for measuring digital authority in the AI era.

The Periodic Table of Digital Authority™ is the visual representation of the Digital Authority Signal System™ — the proprietary scoring methodology behind AUTHORITY44™. The visible periodic table shows 44 core elements (matching the AUTHORITY44 brand). The full underlying system extends to 63 coded signals across 8 authority groups, scored via a weighted composite formula and an original inverse penalty model.

Conceived and invented by Doug Lord no later than November 2024 and first published in a live product environment at authority44.ai in early 2026. Unlike static SEO tables that describe ranking factors, the Digital Authority Signal System produces a measurable Authority Score (0–100) used for analysis, benchmarking, and optimisation.
