## Core metrics

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Visibility">
    Measures whether the brand appears in relevant answers, how prominent it is, and how consistently it appears across providers and prompt types.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Sentiment">
    Measures the tone and framing of brand mentions. Weak sentiment often points to outdated sources, mixed reviews, or competitor-led narratives.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Purchase intent">
    Measures whether AI guides users toward choosing or buying from the brand in high-intent contexts.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## Workflow

<Steps>
  <Step title="Select a time period">
    Start with 30 days. Use 7 days for recent changes and longer windows for stable trend interpretation.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose the weak metric">
    Open the metric tab that changed most or is weakest against expectations.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Compare providers">
    A provider split often reveals whether the issue is model-specific, search-specific, or broad.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open prompt rows">
    Use prompt evidence to see the answer text and citations behind the score.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Export when needed">
    Use CSV export for source, keyword, or stakeholder reporting workflows.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Common diagnostics

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Visibility drop">
    Check whether competitors gained share of voice, owned pages disappeared from sources, or prompt coverage shifted.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Sentiment drop">
    Look for negative or cautious language in responses and identify the sources that support it.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Intent drop">
    Compare the answer against competitors. AI may mention you but choose another brand as the recommendation.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Provider split">
    If one provider behaves differently, inspect that provider's citations, retrieval behavior, and answer style before making a global conclusion.
  </Tab>
</Tabs>
