How is citAEOtion different from prompt-based AI visibility tools?

Prompt-based tools pick a list of questions, ask ChatGPT or Perplexity, and report whether your brand showed up. You chose the prompt, language models are non-deterministic so the same question can return a different answer an hour later, and none of it proves a crawler ever touched your page. citAEOtion reads your real server traffic instead - the actual requests AI bots made, by bot, by page, by day. One is a guess you can repeat and get a different result; the other is what actually happened. That is the whole thesis: the GA for AI. Full data. No BS.
