Grok · answer coverage

The newest of the five to start naming stores.

A surface worth a baseline now, so later movement has something to be measured against.

Engine Grok

Why it matters

Why Grok is worth measuring.

01

A baseline is only useful if it starts early

Movement can only be shown against a reading you already hold. The first sample is the one that makes later ones mean something.

02

It answers from a different vantage

The X-native assistant composes its own answers, so being named there is a separate outcome from the other four.

03

It starts on Authority

Presence samples three engines. Grok and Claude are added on Authority and Omnipresence.

What Burnish does

Four things, on this engine, every cycle.

Nothing here is a projection. Each row is a reading, a change, or a comparison between the two.

Ask

The questions your buyers actually ask

A board of buyer questions in sentences, not keywords — 50 on Authority, 100 on Omnipresence.

Check

What it says when asked about you

A 12-question battery on legitimacy, returns, shipping, warranty and provenance, and whether Grok can answer each one.

What moved after the change

Readings before and after, on the same questions. Attribution is correlation over a window, and the page says so.

Under the hood

How Burnish reads Grok.

“Does Threshold Footwear offer free returns?”

Couldn’t pin down their returns terms.

Model queried

Grok 4.3. When a provider changes the model behind an assistant, the page changes with it rather than keeping a name that is no longer true.

What gets asked

A 50-question board of buyer questions on Authority, 100 on Omnipresence, plus a 12-question reputation battery covering legitimacy, returns, shipping, warranty and provenance.

How often

The reputation battery runs on a 72-hour cycle. Discovery questions fire on a rotating schedule — one every 90 minutes on Authority, 35 on Omnipresence — so the board is swept continuously rather than in one daily batch.

How it is scored

Answers from Grok are read over a rolling 21-day window, and a score is withheld below ten samples rather than shown as a number that a handful of readings cannot support.

Questions.

Can I get Grok coverage on Presence?

No. Presence samples ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini. Grok and Claude are sampled on Authority and Omnipresence — the plan page states the engine count for each tier.

Is it worth measuring an engine this new?

That is a judgement about your own buyers. What Burnish can say is that a baseline recorded now is what any later change gets compared against.

Does Burnish post to X or read my account?

No. Burnish queries the assistant with buyer questions. It holds no social account access and publishes nothing on your behalf.
