How to measure AI citations without cherry-picking results

By Agent Friendly · Published · 1 min read

A screenshot of one favorable AI answer leaves out every attempt that failed. Use a fixed question set and save the full result each time.

What to record

An honest log includes the misses. Save ten repeated observations, including omissions, before celebrating one favorable screenshot. That creates a record you can compare later.

A check you can run

Use a fixed prompt set and save every attempt. For each cited URL, check whether the page actually supports the generated claim. A link to your domain can be present while the answer still misstates your product.
