Before step 1
you will need

- each provider's web search or grounding tool
- server access logs
- durable per-run storage
- a scheduler for daily runs
- an API budget that scales with prompts x engines x days
Delivery order
Scaffold the smallest runnable application and document its commands.
done whenThe project starts from a documented command in a clean checkout.
Implement the primary data model and core workflow.
done whenThe main object can be created, read and changed end to end.
Add validation, safe failure states, and persistence.
done whenBad input is refused with a readable message and nothing is left corrupted.
Cover the critical path with automated tests.
done whenThe highest-risk behavior fails the suite when it breaks.
Exercise a clean install from the README and fix every missing step.
done whenA fresh clone reaches the first successful workflow using only the README.
That is the whole plan for Profound. What it deliberately does not cover is below · check the gaps before you call it a replacement.
- prompt volume data: what people actually ask AI is not measurable from outside
- the real consumer surfaces, since AI Overviews and the ChatGPT app have no API that matches what users see
- months of history and competitor baselines, without which a single week's visibility number means nothing
- upkeep as engines, crawler user agents, and citation formats keep changing
- the agent, recommendation, and product visibility layers stacked on top of the tracking
