Understanding how data flows through Superlines helps you interpret your metrics and make better decisions.

​
Daily analysis cycle

Superlines runs a daily analysis cycle for each active brand:
1

Prompt selection

Active prompts for the brand are queued for testing.
2

AI engine testing

Each prompt is sent to all enabled AI engines.
3

Response collection

Full responses are captured (text, HTML, citations).
4

Brand detection

Responses are scanned for brand mentions using the brand name, variations, and competitor names.
5

Citation extraction

URLs referenced in responses are parsed and tracked.
6

Fan-out tracking

Web searches performed by AI engines are captured.
7

Metric calculation

Brand Visibility, SOV, Citation Rate, and other metrics are computed.
8

Insight generation

Trends, alerts, and recommendations are created.
This process runs daily for active prompts. New prompts are queued and tested within 24 hours of being added.

​
When data becomes available

​
Why initial numbers may fluctuate

When you first create a brand or add new prompts, you may see numbers change rapidly:
  • First hour — initial results come in, percentages swing with small sample sizes
  • First 24 hours — more responses are collected, metrics begin to stabilize
  • 48+ hours — enough data for reliable metrics and trend detection
This is expected behavior. Superlines needs a representative sample of AI responses before metrics accurately reflect your brand’s visibility.

​
How metrics are aggregated

​
Trend detection

Superlines automatically detects and surfaces:
  • Week-over-week changes in core metrics
  • Prompt-level alerts when visibility drops significantly
  • Competitor movements — new competitors gaining traction
  • Content opportunities — topics with high volume but low visibility
These are surfaced as Signals on prompts (Trophy, Star, Alert, etc.) and as Next Actions on the dashboard.

​
Data retention

  • All response data is retained for the lifetime of your subscription
  • Historical trends are available from the moment you start tracking
  • Paused prompts retain their historical data
  • Deleted prompts retain aggregated metrics but remove raw response data
