AI Visibility Report: Answers to Source Drafts

# Title: AI Visibility Report: Answers to Source Drafts
#
# Public workflow: ask AI engines a fixed set of buyer questions, record which
# products they name and which sources they cite, compare with the last run,
# then turn the cited sources into a short action list and drafts for a person
# to review. A separate auditor recounts every number from the ledger and checks
# every draft against the action records. Drafts only; nothing is posted or sent.
# Public roles only.
#
# Input: product, owned domains, brand aliases, buyer, market, engines. Optional:
# question register file, previous monitoring report and ledger files, a folder
# of answer captures, and a spending limit for paid API calls. Paid capture needs
# the DataForSEO provider for seo-data and a stated limit. Example:
#   Product: Acme Notes (acmenotes.com; aliases Acme, AcmeNotes)
#   Buyer: consultants choosing a meeting-notes tool, US, English
#   Engines: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity
#   Questions: ./geo-questions-acme-2026-10-01.md
#   Previous: ./geo-monitor-acme-2026-10-01.md, ./geo-ledger-acme-2026-10-01.md
#   Spending limit: $5
#
# Run it monthly from your own scheduler; each run compares with the files named
# in its input.

1. Question set. If the request names a question register file, read it and keep
   its version unchanged. Otherwise build a register of 10-20 buyer-decision
   questions, label hypotheses as Hypothesized, and save it under the skill's
   question-register filename.
2. Capture route. Pick one:
   - API: the DataForSEO `api_request` tool is connected AND the request states a
     spending limit.
   - SUPPLIED: the request points to answer captures you can read.
   - NONE: neither is available.
3. For API, estimate the cost from current DataForSEO documentation: questions ×
   engines × runs (default three runs), per-call fee plus model charge. If the
   estimate exceeds the limit, cut runs or engines and say what you cut.

Output the test protocol: question file path, engines and surfaces, runs per
prompt, capture window, previous report and ledger paths or "first run", and the
cost estimate.
