Metric definitions

Common metrics, connected to inspectable evidence.

A high-level view across the selected prompts and AI platforms, with the component evidence available underneath.

How often the brand appears across valid recorded answers in the selected prompt set.

Answer variability

One answer is an observation, not a universal truth.

AI answers can change by prompt wording, platform, timing, location, and model behavior. AskScope keeps the monitored conditions visible and compares like-for-like cycles where possible.

  • Show the exact prompt and platform
  • Record the answer and monitoring date
  • Separate failed runs from valid negative results
  • Avoid guaranteed causal claims
