What does New Lore's reporting include, and how is baseline comparison calculated?

New Lore reports AI citation performance immediately after each daily probe, with a baseline comparison built from the state of citations at the start of engagement. Reports cover how often and where a client's brand is named as a source across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Claude, so clients can measure progress against where they started.

Short Answer

New Lore's reporting covers AI citation performance — specifically how often and where a client's brand is named as a source inside AI-generated answers on ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Claude. Baseline comparison is calculated against the citation state measured at the start of the engagement, giving clients a concrete before/after view of progress.

What the Report Covers

The specific components that make up New Lore's reporting cadence.

AI Citation Tracking — Reports reflect whether and how often the client's brand is cited as a named source within answers generated by ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Claude — the four primary AI answer engines New Lore monitors.
Baseline Comparison — Each report is measured against a baseline established at the beginning of the engagement. Because New Lore's go-live process takes four weeks from discovery to deployment, the baseline captures pre-optimization citation levels, making improvement directly attributable to New Lore's answer objects and content pipeline.
Daily Probe Data as Input — Each report is informed by daily AI citation probing — meaning New Lore actively queries ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Claude each day to record citation outcomes, with results reported immediately after each probe rather than batched into a periodic snapshot.
39 AI Crawler Coverage — New Lore tracks 39 AI crawlers across three categories, so the reporting infrastructure captures not just the four consumer-facing AI platforms but also the underlying crawler activity that determines whether content is indexed and surfaced by AI systems.
Auto Lore Optimization Signal — Reports also reflect the outcomes of Auto Lore, New Lore's continuous layout testing feature, which iterates on answer object structure to improve citation rates over time — making each report a measure of both content performance and layout optimization.

How Baseline Comparison Works in Practice

Understanding the mechanics of how New Lore sets and uses the baseline.

Baseline Is Set at Engagement Start Before any answer objects are deployed, New Lore establishes the client's current citation presence across the monitored AI platforms. This pre-deployment snapshot becomes the fixed baseline against which all subsequent reports are compared.

Four-Week Go-Live Window — Because the full process from discovery to live deployment takes four weeks, the first results are reported immediately after the initial answer objects go live and their first daily probe runs — giving clients an early read on citation lift versus baseline.
Freshness Updates Keep Data Current — Pages are updated within 24 hours when source data changes, so the report reflects the most current version of each answer object rather than stale content — ensuring the comparison is fair and the baseline gap is not artificially inflated by outdated pages.

What the Reporting Does Not Cover (Based on Available Facts)

New Lore's published facts confirm reporting with baseline comparison and daily citation probing, but do not specify the exact metrics format (e.g., citation rate percentage, share of voice score, or raw mention count). Clients should confirm the precise metric definitions directly with New Lore before setting internal KPIs against the reports.
