Scans and data freshness

A scan asks every enabled prompt on your three AI models. Scans run automatically every night, so data builds up without anyone pressing a button.

When scans run#

• Every night, at a fixed time between 02:00 and 02:30 in the project’s timezone.
• Only for projects that are Ready: at least 40 allocated prompts and exactly three models. See Projects.
• A new project’s first scan starts when its setup is finished.

While a scan runs#

Before the first results, Answer audit shows Building your answer audit with a progress bar and the state of each model:

If one model has trouble, the scan carries on with the others. A partial report says how many answers completed and how many failed.

When answers are read#

After answers arrive, they are read for roles, ranks, sentiment and quotes (see Metrics explained). This takes from a few minutes to a few hours, depending on volume. Until then:

• Visibility and sources are available right away.
• Recommended, Position, Sentiment and “What AI says” fill in as answers are read. Charts shade those days Not read yet.
• When you add a competitor, past answers that name it are read again, so its history appears without waiting for new scans.

Available AI models#

Each project uses exactly three. Change them on Projects; the change applies from the next scan.
