07 / EXPERIMENT

Current Experiments and Method Notes

GrayRhino AI currently documents only the API measurement sources already integrated: Volcengine Ark API web search and Baidu Qianfan Intelligent Search Generation API. This page explains fixed questions, evidence records, retests, and boundaries without announcing unopened consumer-platform plans.

FRAMEWORK

What each experiment record includes

  • Keep 5 core questions across brand, category, scenario, competitor, and buying-decision intents.
  • Record question-level answers from Volcengine Ark API web search and Baidu Qianfan Intelligent Search Generation API.
  • Store brand mentions, competitor co-mentions, citations, inaccurate descriptions, and the measurement source used for the run.
  • State that API surfaces may differ from consumer product experiences and that results are not fixed consumer rankings.
  • Turn evidence gaps into Actions and retest with the same questions and sources.

SCOPE BOUNDARIES

API measurement sources are not fixed consumer rankings

  • Current sources are only Volcengine Ark API web search and Baidu Qianfan Intelligent Search Generation API.
  • The current scope is Mainland China and Simplified Chinese.
  • There is no first-round consumer platform list, and API results are not treated as fixed consumer rankings.
  • No guarantee of brand mentions, positive answers, citations, or ranking improvement.
  • Case studies are published separately only when their evidence is complete and the method is verifiable.

We will not fabricate conclusions, customer cases, certifications, or media endorsements. After real tests are completed, records will be updated around questions, sources, answers, evidence, and next Actions.
