Session’s place in the framework
Jason’s Day 2 live walkthrough, co-hosted with Bob Gentle, walks the post-Won people phase — OPIDC — and the Kalicube Flywheel that completes the loop from SEO into business and back to SEO transformed.
Episode summary
Jason Barnard and Bob Gentle open Day 2 with a two-hour live walkthrough of the post-Won people phase — OPIDC (Onboarded, Performed, Integrated, Devoted, Codified) — and the Codified discipline that closes the loop back to SEO. Where Day 1 covered the algorithm and bot phases of the pipeline, Day 2 covered what happens after the brand wins: how the customer experience, real-world advocacy, and structured evidence generation feed back into the AI Engine Pipeline as the corroboration substrate that makes the next customer recommendation more confident.
The session introduces the Kalicube Flywheel — the loop from SEO into business outcomes and back to SEO transformed — and makes the strategic argument that this is where the SEO function earns a seat at the C-suite table. The framework’s claim is direct: the brands that codify their customer outcomes into machine-readable evidence are the brands AI engines will recommend with confidence, and SEOs are the discipline that has both the technical understanding of how AI engines read evidence and the measurement infrastructure to track whether it is working.
The Day 2 pre-recorded sessions drop simultaneously across the day. Each one is a practitioner or operator voice illustrating a specific segment of the Serve phase or the Codified loop from their own vertical or discipline. The live walkthrough is the architectural close for the entire summit.
