Evidence
Every figure opens to its answers.
Each count links to the AI answers it counts, word for word, with the pages each answer cited.
A report you can check
Every number opens
to the answer behind it.
An IndexHalo report is built from the AI answers themselves, kept word for word with the pages they cited. Here is what you can check in yours.
Dates
Original dates are kept.
Each answer keeps the date it was collected, with its question, AI source, market and language. Nothing is re-dated.
Unknowns
Unknown is never zero.
An answer whose outcome could not be read is shown as unknown and left out of the count, never counted as a no.
Measures
No composite score.
Each measure is a count over its own denominator, such as named in 31 of 50 answers. Nothing is weighted or added into one score.
Change
Change only between matched checks.
A change is shown only when the same question, AI source and market were checked again. A change in results is an association, not proof of cause.
Cost
Costs shown before anything runs.
Every search shows its credit cost before it starts, and IndexHalo pays for the free report you get after verifying your email.
Measures, not a score
Each measure
on its own,
with its count.
IndexHalo reports each rate on its own as a count over its denominator, for example “named in 31 of 50 answers”; average numbered-list position is the mean position over the answers that number the brand, shown with how many there are. Nothing is weighted, averaged together or added into one score. An answer whose outcome could not be read stays out of the denominator and is shown as unknown, never as zero. Being named is not being recommended.
