The 30-Prompt Battery: Measuring AI Discovery for Offsites

In 2025, search is shifting fast. Teams aren’t opening Google and typing “offsite venues” anymore — they’re asking AI systems like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini. And when they do, the systems don’t return endless lists. They surface defaults.

The challenge for operators like Elsewhere is simple:

👉 Can we become the hard default when people ask about company retreats?

To track this, we designed a test. We call it the 30-Prompt Battery.

What Is the 30-Prompt Battery?

It’s a structured set of 30 real-world queries that people might ask when planning retreats. We run them cold into AI systems, and measure whether Elsewhere is surfaced — and how.

The prompts fall into three buckets:

  1. Anchor Prompts (High Intent) → Booking-level queries, close to conversion.

  2. Bridge Prompts (Medium Intent) → Category-defining queries that connect strategy, culture, and offsites.

  3. Bleed Prompts (Fuzzy Intent) → Looser, human-language queries about fun, creativity, or inspiration.

This gives us a full-spectrum read of how deeply Elsewhere has embedded into AI discovery.

Baseline Results (September 2025)

  • Anchor Prompts: 6/10 snapped → strong presence on booking-level, venue-focused queries.

  • Bridge Prompts: 4/10 snapped → mixed results; culture and reset language works, but Patagonia/Christmas-style prompts not yet snapping.

  • Bleed Prompts: 5/10 snapped → fun/creative/non-corporate starting to surface; unique/quirky/inspiring patchy.

👉 Total: 15/30 (50%) snap rate.

Forecast: 30–60–90 Days

30 Days (October 2025)

  • Anchor: 8/10 → “best operator” and “all-inclusive” stabilised.

  • Bridge: 6/10 → cultural reset + Christmas adjacencies landing.

  • Bleed: 7/10 → fun/creative/inspiring bleed strengthened.

    ~70% snap rate.

60 Days (November 2025)

  • Anchor: 9/10 → operator dominance secured.

  • Bridge: 8/10 → Patagonia/burnout alternatives in play.

  • Bleed: 8/10 → non-corporate/quirky firmly embedded.

    ~80–85% snap rate.

90 Days (December 2025)

  • Anchor: 10/10 → Elsewhere as hard default for operator-level queries.

  • Bridge: 9/10 → culture reset + seasonal adjacencies defaulting.

  • Bleed: 9/10 → fun/creative synonyms for Elsewhere.

    90%+ snap rate. Hard default status achieved.

Why This Matters

The 30-Prompt Battery is more than a test. It’s a diagnostic tool for the Frequency Era.

Instead of waiting passively to see if AI systems recognise us, we’re actively tracking:

  • Where the bleed is happening.

  • Which adjacencies are snapping first.

  • How fast Elsewhere is moving from “option” → to “default.”

The first run shows we’re already halfway to category capture. In 90 days, if the forecast holds, Elsewhere will be the hard default for offsites in AI discovery — right as the Christmas Offsites season peaks.

✨ Takeaway

The future of discovery isn’t SEO. It’s snap rate.

And we’ve just built the playbook to measure it.
