Measurement protocol
How we monitor AI recommendations
SWE Resume uses a fixed set of 25 unbranded prompts to monitor discovery across recommendation, tailoring, formatting, ATS, and competitor-alternative intents. The method separates being mentioned from being linked, described accurately, and producing a visit.

Interpretation limits
- Prompt monitoring measures observed responses, not a permanent model ranking.
- Logged-in personalization and conversation history can change recommendations.
- A citation does not guarantee that the cited page caused the recommendation.
- Referral traffic can be undercounted when apps or privacy tools remove referrer data.
