The Proof Ledger
Aggregate outcomes from 27 measured prompts: fixes shipped, the exact prompts re-tested on a schedule, and movement recorded against each prompt's own pre-ship baseline.
Pathway split across reportable wins: 5 fast retrieval (within 3 days), 5 slow training-cycle (14+ days), 2 in between. Observed-but-not-yet-reportable wins: 0.
Of 12 reportable win(s), 8 held across repeat tests - the brand stayed cited in a majority of runs after first appearing.
Each segment publishes independently once it clears its own floor (8 measured, 3 reportable wins). Segments below that stay in collection.
- Comparison / best / alternative - 4 reportable win(s) of 8 measured (50%), 2 held, median 1 day(s) to first citation.
A tracked prompt counts as an observed win when the exact prompt - re-run on a schedule after a fix shipped - returns at least one citation of the tracked brand. It only graduates to a reportable win when sampling reaches medium confidence (at least 3 post-ship runs) and the post-ship citation rate beats that prompt's own pre-ship baseline.
First citation within 3 days of shipping is classed as a fast retrieval (RAG) effect; 14 days or later is classed as a slow training-cycle effect; in between is recorded as unknown.
- These are correlation-with-controls observations, not causal guarantees. AI answers vary by engine, model version, retrieval state, time, and wording.
- The sample is self-selected: prompts that RankEcho customers chose to fix and track.
- Figures stay withheld until at least 25 measured prompts and 10 reportable wins exist.
- No customer-level results, domains, or prompts are ever published here - aggregate counts and medians only.
These are correlation-with-controls observations, not a guarantee that any engine will cite any brand. Aggregate counts and medians only.
