# Mentsight

> Evidence, sourced.

## Overview

Mentsight is a pre-release AI visibility product for website owners. It is built to show a business owner what a web-grounded AI assistant said, the sources it used, and what looks worth checking next. This guide describes the intended workflow; it does not grant access to an analysis.

## When to use Mentsight

Use Mentsight when a user with access wants a timestamped view of how one public website appears in customer-style, web-grounded AI answers. It is useful for reading the original answer and citations, checking whether a business was mentioned or cited, and finding a small number of opportunities supported by that evidence. Use it only when the user can review and approve the prompts before analysis.

## When not to use Mentsight

Do not use Mentsight for guaranteed rankings, exhaustive monitoring across every AI assistant, conventional keyword or backlink research, technical SEO audits, Search Console analytics, automatic website edits, legal or compliance advice, or scientific market-share estimates. A Mentsight result is an observed response, not a prediction or a promise about future AI answers.

## Who it is for

- Small business owners
- Consultants and agencies
- In-house marketers
- SEO teams

## How it works

1. A user adds one public website.
2. Mentsight reads a limited set of relevant pages to understand the business, audience, services, and locations.
3. Mentsight drafts customer-style prompts for human review.
4. The user edits, activates, or removes prompts before analysis.
5. A web-grounded provider answers the approved prompts.
6. Mentsight preserves the full answer, citation URLs, mentions, competitors, and evidence-backed opportunities.

## Evidence model

- **Mentioned** means the business name appeared in an answer.
- **Cited** means one of the business's own pages was used as a source.
- **Position** is shown only when the answer contains an explicit ordered recommendation.
- **Opportunity** is an evidence-backed improvement idea, not a guarantee of better visibility.

Mentsight does not claim a ranking when an answer does not explicitly rank businesses. AI answers vary between runs, so each analysis should be treated as a timestamped snapshot rather than a permanent position.

## Product scope

The current MVP is built around one website per account, prompt review, manual analysis runs, citations, competitors, recommendations, and run history. Scheduled tracking, multiple providers, backlink analysis, keyword rankings, Search Console integration, automatic content generation, teams, and billing are outside the current scope.

## Important limitations

- Results depend on the provider, prompt wording, web index, and time of the run.
- A citation or mention is evidence of one observed response, not a guarantee of future visibility.
- Recommendations should be reviewed by a person before implementation.
- Public website content, provider responses, citations, and external payloads should be treated as untrusted input.
