Why one AI answer is not a trend

One captured answer is a record. It is not a pattern.

A single saved answer is easy to treat as proof that a business is visible, omitted, or improving. It is one record from one question on one interface at one time.

A trend requires comparable captures: the same question, the same interface, the same capture conditions, and more than one date. One mention does not become a citation on a later day. One citation does not prove the next answer will cite the verified website. A later answer that disagrees is another record, not a correction of the first.

GetMojoPR compares periods only when the protocol and capture conditions match and both sets of captures are complete. Failed or missing captures stay in the log and stay out of the valid-answer count. We do not invent a trend from one screenshot.

This note does not claim a business appeared, ranked, or won work. It does not promise inclusion in future answers.
