Manual prompt tests are directional evidence, not stable rankings. The monthly tracking system combines AI Performance reporting, Search Console data, referral analytics, server logs, and fixed prompt tests.

- Check Google Search Console Search Performance and Generative AI reports where available.
- Export GA4 landing-page/referral data for ChatGPT and other AI referrers.
- Parse server logs for AI/search bot visits, statuses, and blocks.
- Run the fixed manual prompt bank.
- Update the citation log.
- Compare pages cited against pages intended to be cited.
- Add access, source-evidence, routing, or freshness issues to the action queue.
