One plain report of what AI tells your buyers
The scan report is what Proofsource shows after a scan: who AI recommends instead of you, the sources it cites with summaries and dated screenshots, a matrix of every buyer question by engine, the searches engines ran, and whether your site lets AI crawlers in.

What is an AI visibility report?
An AI visibility report summarizes how AI answer engines respond to the questions your buyers ask. A useful one answers four things: are you named, who is named instead, which sources the engines relied on, and is there anything on your own site stopping AI from reading you. It should let you check every claim against the original answers.
A score is a useful start. A score tells you there is a problem, not what it is. The detail that matters is in the answers: the competitor named first, the review site cited, the search the engine ran, the robots rule that blocks a crawler.
Proofsource's report lays this out in plain sections. It lists who AI recommends, the sources it cites with what those pages say and dated screenshots, a grid of every question by every engine with answers you can show or hide, the searches each engine ran and the pages it read, and your site's readiness for AI crawlers by company. The same report is available for any stored day, a method note explains how it was measured, and a zero score comes with a reason.
